Blessed Beyond Belief

 

When we started this trip all we had was a thumbnail

sketch of some places we would like to see. 

Canada was a hope but just not sure if we would 

make it there.

 Blessed to be able to travel this far. 

Here is how we were greeted in New Brunswick!

The warmer temperatures created the fog. 

As the day progressed the fog dissipated. 

Stopped in Saint John to see the 

Reversing Falls.

Living in Iowa for years and now in Arizona 

we don't deal with tides.  To learn more about it 

click on the link. Interesting!

Along the Bay of Fundy we followed the 

Fundy Trail Parkway which has lots of pull-offs 

so you are able to view the sandy beaches and

rock formations which make

for an interesting drive along the coast.

We stayed at a very nice couples house in Moncton

through Boondockers Welcome.

The next day on to Prince Edward Island.

We went to Charlottetown, which is the capital,

and stopped at Cow's Creamery.

It is famous for their cheeses

 but we went for the ice cream.

Did you know that they grow lots 

of potatoes there and you pick

 them up at road side stands?

Another fantastic Harvest Host location!

The Confederation Bridge is 8 miles long!

We watched a video about the process of building

 this amazing bridge. If you are interested, 

research and find out more about this engineering marvel.

Note: If you plan on going you don't pay your 

toll until you try to get off the island. 

 It was $50.25!

Fantastic way to be greeted at the 

Information Center on Nova Scotia.

 The World Famous Cabot Trail

 on Cape Brenton Island was fantastic!

        

It goes through Cape Brenton Highlands National Park.

Amazing views from the road!

Here is one of the trails we ventured up and down.

So many picturesque photos!

Next stop was Peggy's Cove Lighthouse.
Notice the guy playing the Alphorn.

That was cool and unexpected!

Do you recognize this causeway?

Or these buildings?

Are you a fan of the show 

The Curse of Oak Island?

Yes, we were able to drive onto the island!

The visitors center and island are closed

 because of Covid but we went for it 

and crossed the causeway. They were 

very nice and said we could take photos.

The team has met several times at Mug & Anchor

upstairs in the Old Mader's Wharf building.

We enjoyed having fish & chips on the back deck,

right under the blue umbrellas,

overlooking Mahone Bay. 

It was a "treasure" of a day for us!

Just a few miles south is the town of Lunenburg.

It is one of only two urban communities in

 North America designated as a UNESCO World Heritage

 site. The town has seventy percent of the original 

colonial 18th and 19th centuries buildings. 

A unique town that we were able to walk around

and visit some of the shops.  

We stayed in Liverpool at the Hank Snow Museum

 and didn't even know there was going to be 

a country music festival honoring him. 

Blessed again and again
