We drove through New Brunswick on our way to Maine. As we leave Canada, I was thinking about USA influence. Unfortunately,McDonalds is popular. Once I saw a billboard for "McLobster". What an abomination! Subway restaurants are popular. A few Wallmarts, and new Target stores being built. I did not see any Starbucks. I think it is because of a popular chain called Tim Hortons. They sell coffee and a menu like Denny's. They are all over Canada. We met a Canadian couple traveling,and they said they have a Tim Hortons app on their iPad, and plan their trip and stops accordingly.
We made it through the border easily and fast. We entered in Calais, Maine. Then we went to Campobello Island, to see FDR's summer cottage. It is on Canadian land, but administered by USA. So, we had to go back to Canada, and ten re-enter USA.
Camping in Acadia National Park, next to Bar Harbor. We stopped in a lobster pound, and bought clams and mussels. Cooked them in garlic, onion, butter and wine over campfire. Heavenly!
