Our Fourth Day in NS
It was our 8th Wedding Anniversary today. It was a really great day. We went to Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove. Both spots were well worth visiting, but there is something pretty special about Peggy's Cove. It is a fishing village with only 60 residents.
They are very patient with all the tourists--we probably saw at least 100. It is on the coastal barrens. Within less than a quarter km, it goes from being thickly treed to almost no trees and lots of glacial granite. There were amazing views. Did I mention that it has been really really hot? Every day the highs have been between 25 and 32 C. For all my American friends and relatives, that is in the 80's.
Pictures then.

This is a pretty famous view in Lunenburg of three of the five churches in town.
This is the Anglican church
This picture of the Bluenose 2 was taken with a telephoto as it came into port at Lunenburg.

We went to the Five Fishermen for dinner. They have an all you can eat mussle and salad bar. I can eat a lot of mussles. We had a bottle of Chandon bubbly with dinner. I had a sesame encusted piece of yellow tail and Paula had a seafood linguini. While the food was good, and the company was great, I think it was a little pricey for what we got.
Our day ended walking down the pier and then back through downtown Halifax to the hotel. It was a really nice day.
More tomorrow!
