We stayed at the Delta, which was centrally located. That allowed us to walk to the pubs and restaurants downtown. At first glance, Saint John appears a bit drab, but there's lots of history related to the United States, as well as the colonization of Canada, to explore. The Farmers Market was great.

This is a farmers’ market on steroids! Acres of anything and everything one want, even things one doesn’t want☺ Kid in a candy store cliché ring a bell? There are, of course, fruits, veggies, baked goods, and a host of other food items. Kitschy gifts galore, and many useful items are available. The market is on several floors and corridors lead to separate specialty businesses. I found it overwhelming, but enjoyable.
