Gil & Marsha Visit to Nova Scotia 2007
Nova Scotia is a beautiful place. It is so much like Maine, we felt right at home! The beautiful coastline will inspire any artist, the art scene lively and happening, history rich and colorful, architecture from plain and simple to touches of Greek Revival and Victorian.
Like France, people seem to enjoy painting their homes and business fronts in delightful colors and color schemes. Many lighthouses. We stopped at Peggy's Cove lighthouse, toured a water-driven woolen mill (now a museum), shopped at a Mi'qmak trading post, ate lobster, had some rich brown beer, discovered a wine grape we gotta grow...
We had crossed the Bay of Fundy by ferry and stayed in the southeast coastal area. Tripped up and down the coast for a few days and then left through Truro, going around the top of the Bay. There, the landscape changed from mainly forest to rolling hill farmland. Truro had wooden statues carved from diseased Dutch Elm trees.
We left still curious about roads we hadn't been on, sights yet to be seen...
