Burgers, Blue Skies and Baby Barns!

So yesterday was Quebec Regional Ambassador Jean Brilliants last day. I was extremely sad to see him go, as I am all of the Regional Ambassadors. It’s such a unique experience, in that you are literally thrown right into getting to know strangers in a very short period of time. What I have found nice is that all Delta people are like-minded folks, which has made the treks on the long and winding road much, much easier. So farewell to my fantastic friend Jean, who brought a lot of heart and energy at a time on the tour when I needed it most. Quebec would not have been the same without Jean’s pride and love for his home province and it’s people.
Salut mon amie!

Jean beatin' on Bob the Incredible!

Once Jean and I had successfully arrived at the Delta Brunswick in Saint John, New Brunswick, we had the great pleasure of meeting the final Regional Ambassador, Charlene Kaine. After a fantastic dinner together and a good nights sleep, Charlene and I were ready to rock and roll at the Delta Brunswick’s fundraising BBQ for Habitat for Humanity. Apparently we brought the blue-skies with us and the sunshine too, as it was a perfect day to set-up a street-side BBQ for such a great cause. We also lucked out in that a cruise-ship from New York happened to be in port for the day, sending many hungry and happy travelers our way.

Waiting for the rush!

Along with yummy food, there were also two fantastic draw prizes as an additional fundraising effort. One was a 50/50 draw and the other a draw for the cutest (my words, not the manly and tough builders) baby barn ever! The shed had been built by volunteer high-school students at the Habitat site, then transported to the Delta Brunswick to be put on display and for the final shingles to be placed on the roof. There were also three different sets of musicians keeping the street hopin’. I even had my very first taste of Maritime music on this trip, which will apparantly, according to Charlene, prepare me for some jigs in the time to come. It was all good fun for a great cause!

I wanted to share this photo of Charlene. She is extremely fun and high-spirited. She is going to be fantastic to guide the cruiser and I through the last leg of this amazing tour! Grand Falls and Fredericton here we come!

Welcome to the tour Charlene!
