Many of us wonder where Eldon came from. As it turns out, so does Eldon. While Sid and Idee are in New Brunswick, discovering the unique culture and geography of the Acadian Peninsula in New Brunswick, Eldon thinks he's finally found the answer. Meanwhile, at the Shippigan Aquarium and Marine Centre, our travelling twosome feed a baby seal and get up close to some the of strangest looking creatures of the deep - including a blue lobster! Next, they head to Caraquet, the unofficial capital of Acadia, and home to the Acadian Historical Village. There, Sid and Idee learn about the history and culture of the Acadian people and try their hand at life in the days of settlement. Then it's over to Miscou Island and Lameque to discover one of the main exports in New Brunswick - peat moss. Dr. Jean-Yves Daigle, Executive Director of the Peat Research and Development Centre, introduces them to a tree that is 2500 years old! His daughter Marianne gives Sid and Idee a lesson in the carnivorous plants that call peat bogs home. Has Eldon really discovered his roots, or is that just peat moss on the soles of his shoes? Find out on this episode of CG Kids.
