Hit Lunenberg (sp?? I'm embarrassed to say). I have never been in such a quiet town .. you could hear a pin drop in the street. Our Inn, the oldest tavern in Nova Scotia, was so quiet it was like being in a sound proof room. Beautifully restored houses.
Was allowed to steer a schooner - if only for a photograph. This is a sailing ship that came from Germany and they were looking for trainees to help crew the ship.
My favourite town so far is Shelburne. This is where the Scarlett Letter was filmed. The film company built this structure which the townspeople just left up. They also removed a story from a building and built a spire on another building ... note to myself, pick up the movie when home and identify the various scenes. As well a mini series called Moby Dick was filmed here. Don't know when it will be aired on TV.
Am currently in Annapolis Royal, a beautiful little town on the north coast.
Was talking to some people from England the other day. I was warning them about the coyotes one has to be careful of here (as I have been warned). Remember last year a coyote killed a jogger?? They are apparently still attacking people. He said yes, just like the cows in England. COWS IN ENGLAND?? Apparently English cows will circle around a person, then start to close the circle till the person falls, then stamp them to death. Sounds Monte Pythonish to me. What you learn while travelling!
Till next time...
