We rented a car from Enterprise today for a 400K tour-about and part of their logo says that they will pick you up (and drop you off) which was very handy for us from our accommodations. We visited pals Jill & Tom, and their beautiful daughter Elizabeth today for lunch (and a walk with Jill on a bridge that looked across to Fredericton). What a super fun visit and delicious lunch, including garden vegetable and salmon risotto and a beautiful blueberry cake!  It was a day off from riding today and this was a good thing, as a big downpour in the region lasted until about 2:00!  We get rained on sometime while riding, and usually don’t use our foul weather gear, as we usually dry quite quickly – but in the torrential rain, it can be a bit disconcerting on the road, as we think it is hard to see us through the blur of wipers and the splash from the tires.  We passed the geographic centre of New Brunswick today and we had a chance to see Miramichi's Quai Richie’s Wharf (which was closed up for the evening – some shops did not open due to the weather).  B did a safety check and clean of our bikes in preparation for the next two days of riding, which will take us to the middle of our trip, and to Campbellton, NB, which will be our last stop in New Brunswick before we head over the Gaspe in Quebec.
