Aug 24, 2009 - Caraquet, New Brunswick

CARAQUET, NEW BRUNSWICK CANADA August 24, 2009 The rain and winds from Hurricane Bill had finally stopped and it was a lovely day when we set out to visit the Arcadian Village in Caraquet which is in the heart of the Arcadian Peninsula. ... The Arcadian Village in Caraquet consists of farms and buildings that were restored and that represent the everyday existence of the Arcadians in the 18th and 19th centuries. ... We were pretty tired by the time we left the village! We were also pretty hungry since I didn’t eat much of the lunch and Len can ALWAYS eat! So we found a local fromagerie – La Blancs D’Arcadie…a local cheese maker that made exceptional white cheddar cheese and we bought a good-sized wedge.CARAQUET, NEW BRUNSWICK CANADA August 24, 2009 The rain and winds from Hurricane Bill had finally stopped and it was a lovely day when we set out to visit the Arcadian Village in Caraquet which is in the heart of the Arcadian Peninsula. ...
