We made sure to see the most famous tidal Bay of Fundy site on our last full day in New Brunswick. We got to the park at peak low tide, and spent a good deal of time wandering around the beach. We reached the end (the site of the emergency shelter) right at the point

This was our one rainy day, so we stayed close to Saint John. I’d love to have this as my local park – it’s quite walkable, but you can bring your car on the loop road, so we got in a decent amount of sight seeing before the rain got to be too much.

It’s got lovely views of Saint Croix Island, the earliest French settlement in North America. Our first stop in St. Andrews proper was the St. Andrews Blockhouse National Historic site. We hit at

We almost didn’t go to the Botanical Garden. The palm house is being restored, and it was too early in the season for their to be very much outside, right? But we ran into a cold and rainy day, and decided to chance the palm house. While it is being worked on, it is still

Thomas Dambo first came to my attention when he installed six trolls at the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden. Once I knew we were going to Denmark, I started marking the nearby trolls to see what we’d be able to find. There are three trolls currently in Copenhagen. The first troll turned out to be in

I’m doing a separate entry for Christiansborg Slot because I ended up completely geeking out over their tapestry display, and took so many pictures they need their own post. Christiansborg was the royal palace, but the royal family has decamped to Amalienborg. Christiansborg is now the official home of the parliament and the judiciary. The
