Rain, rain and more rain. We catch a bus to downtown Saint John to check out the city.
First stop is the Old City Market, first opened in 1876, the market has stood the test of time, from the great fire of 1877 which devoured the city. A full city block in length it runs downhill from the head of the market, gently sloping a full 20 feet to the other end.
A little lunch, some more street walking and we decide to call it a day and head back to the bus. We check out one of the local malls and run into a gentlemen who just love Indira, he offers us a coffee and to sit down awhile. His name was Habib Kilisli, he arrived in NB 26 years ago from Turkey. He tells us a few things about NB and that it is good place to live. He is with the NDP, and it seems the day before he lost at the election the was just held here. He wished us well in our travels and we are on are way.
