Hi All,
Sue & I rode from Amherst N.S. to Bangor Maine today.
We stopped in St. Andrew New Brunswick for lunch. We were told by some motorcyclists we met in Cape Breton that the best seafood chowder was at Elaine's Chowder House in St. Andrew,so we went there. It was very good, but I think the best seafood chowder I had so far was at the Best Western in North Sydney Nova Scotia. Any how we are in Bangor Maine at the Howard Johnson's.

Elaine's Chowder House Cafe
24 King St., St. Andrews
A recent adjunct to the Tin Fish gift shop, this little winner offers a limited menu and inspired fare in tight, convivial surroundings – so convivial that the slow-as-molasses service can be forgiven. The talkative server likely will talk you into foregoing the basic lunch and dinner menu of seafood sandwiches, sushi rolls, curries and our favorite steamed mussels. Instead he’ll tout the blackboard specials, one night’s choice including crab cakes with salad, salmon fillet, rack of lamb and filet mignon. We were impressed with the curried chicken and vegetables and the chicken in puff pastry as well as the beer and wine selection. Homemade pies are the desserts of choice.
The artistry in the kitchen extends to the decor of the tiny enclosed porch seating sixteen diners amid white lights twinkling in the windows. Elaine Wilson’s artworks share top billing with those of her husband, artist Ted Michener.
Next door for casual food is Mitch’s Takeout, run by Ted, who also owns the popular Gables waterfront restaurant.
(506) 529-4496. Entrées, $14.95 to $28.95. Open daily except Tuesday, noon to 9.
Very nice picture of you Frank. All that talk about good sea food is getting me hungry! I am glad you and Sue are having such a good time. sounds like the bikers you met along the way are very friendly.
Hello guys I am glad that you guys are still talking to each other. Also nice pictures. Bangor Maine is real nice. Have a safe trip home. Sally is doing well.
Message from Aunt Caroline:
Rita, Please post this on the blog. Thanks.
Went to mass at Lourdes again today. Father Bill asked about Sally and the babies. I had talked to Sally this morning and was able to tell him that things looked encouraging.
Not only is he and the other priests praying for them. When he hears confession, he gives as penance that they are to pray for these two preemie babies.
So you see, prayers are coming from all over the place.
Keep safe, drive carefully.
Love from Splatz and AC
