Peggy's Cove
Sunday we were on the road to Halifax arriving early afternoon, did I mention it rained. When we got here it quit. We had a very nice secluded site with trees around so we kicked back enjoyed a campfire, Lindsey went swimming and we made s’mores.
Monday the 11th was a truly maximum fun filled day. We started out by visiting Peggy’s Cove. Just before getting there we stopped at the memorial for Swiss Air Flight 111 along side of the road where 229 passenger and crew went down about 5 miles out on 9/2/1998. Peggy’s Cove was one of my favorite places to see as I like little fishing villages and water. We took a lot of pictures also had a local take a picture of us with the lighthouse in the background and had postcards made. We left there and continued on the coastal route to Mahoney Bay, a quaint little village with 5 churches that stand out just before you arrive. Walked around the shops a bit and took more pictures the continued on. The next stop was Lunenburg. A picture perfect little seaport village with tall ships and yachts and every thing else that goes along with them. The town is built on a steep rocky hillside about 8 blocks long and 8 blocks wide. We enjoyed walking around and taking pictures watching people, shopping and just enjoying the sunny day. We topped off the day in down town Halifax on the waterfront with a fabulous seafood dinner. We walked it off on the waterfront wharf where there was a lot going on including entertainment, music,
food vendors, gift shops and some weird people. You know the ones with the different colored hair, leather, tattoos, tons of makeup and all. Anyway a good time was had by all.
Today we left Halifax and are now in Saint John NB. Did I mention it rained all day. So we parked it and called it a day. Tomorrow we plan on seeing the reversing falls. More on that tomorrow.
