We took two ferries. The first took us from St. George to Deer Island - about a 20 minute ride. This is the second ferry. It took us from Deer Island to Campobello Island.
It actually detached itself to turn itself around.
This was a stop on Deer Island. "The Original Pickle Guy". Inside they sold fresh veggies, and of course pickles.... on the honor system!! This shop was totally unattended. In fact there was a book to write down what you purchased.
We didn't spend a lot of time on Deer Island because we visited it yesterday, so we just boogied across the island to catch the 2nd ferry (pictured above) for Campobello Island which was a half hour crossing.
Campobello Island is not only famous for it's whales, seals, birds and beauty, but also for it's shared Canadian/American history. Campobello is the summer home of the late U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is now preserved as Roosevelt Campobello International Park.

After our tour of Campobello Island we continued our loop - we crossed the U.S. border and drove up to Calais, Maine to cross the Canadian border to visit St. Stephens.
St. Stephens, known as Canada's Chocolate town, is the home of the Ganong Chocolate Factory and Museum.
They have been been in business since 1873 - five generations later they are still making chocolates. And during the tour, which was self-guided, there were chocolates everywhere - all you can eat for as long as you were in the museum!!
