So Long Nova Scotia, we spend over a week exploring this great province.  Cape Breton Island and the Cabot Trail were spectacular.  We made our way down the coast line through fishing villages forgotten in time.  We found little places like Larry's River and had to cross little ferry's.  Pretty good deal seven bucks including our Airstream!  Even the Nova Scotians asked "Where were you!!"
We then made our home base at Sharon's brother's friend, Dean Webb, camping out in his driveway.  Dean set us up with his friend Val to take a flight in his Cessna 172.  We headed up on a beautiful day 22C out that day and we flew up the Bay of Fundy to Cape Split...Wow what an experience.
We then did day trips to Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Chester to Peggy's Cove.  Then up to Digby, Annapolis Royal and Wolfville.  We even had dinner in Halifax.  What a beautiful province and great food, especially those fresh Digby Scallops, Seafood Chowder and Snow Crab Rolls.  Yum yum.  Last camp out at Sheila Graham's museum home in Amherst just 40 mins to PEI.  We noticed on the drive to Amherst that the sun was in our eyes, driving west instead of East in the afternoon isn't as fun, well at least we are going south next.
It sort of a sad day as I watched a bunch of video tributes to Taylor Field this morning, it came crashing down today and we head for our last province today on what has turned into a Canadian Pilgrimage of sorts..PEI watch out here we come!
Oh yeah can't forget about dragging Sharon to countless lighthouses and we didn't even scratch the surface of lighthouses.  She's going to a few more in PEI!!!
