No we didn't run off the ends of the earth. Getting on the web is a little bit of a problem up here, but tonight we are on. Today is a little overcastr but our weatherman says things will get better this afternoon. We are carpooling to Peggy's Cove this morning. Peggy's Cove is a beautiful little fishing village down the coast from Halifax. The lighthouse is typical of what we have seen on the coast in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. This one had a post office in it and was being well used. The rocks ran right to the water and the waves rolling in made it quite pictuesque. We had our group photo taken with lighthouse in the background. (Photos to follow when available.)
From Peggy's Cove we stopped briefly at the memorial erected for the 1998 crash of a Swiss airline of the coast. On to Lunenburg where we ate lunch and toured the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. This museum depicted the history of the fishing industry in Nova Scotia.
Heading back to the campground, several of the caravaners stopped at Malone Bay and did some sight seeing. This quait fishing village is now a tourist attraction with shops and water adventures. Beautiful setting.
For the author and another couple, a Costco and Wal-Mart sidetrip led to some unwanted and interesting detours, delays, and turnarounds. Another full day tomorrow.
