On the Road Again

The Culprit>

Woo Hoo... In the immortal words sung by Willie Nelson "On the road again. I just can't wait to get on the road again." It looks like tomorrow (7/27) we'll be travelin. The struts came this morning and got them installed with only minor swearing. Now to get 2 weeks worth of stuff we've dragged out put away and a little shopping and some fuel for the truck. We should be good to go tomorrow. Gail said we waited too long to make our ferry reservations for Newfoundland. Car service is sold out for over a week. We could walk on but wouldn't be able to take the truck. So, next time we'll hit Newfoundland. Still have a lot to see on Nova Scotia and PEI.

Yesterday was a rainy day so we took a drive to the north coast that sits along the Bay of Fundy. We ended up in a tiny fishing village, Halls Harbour. The tides was going out so some boats were still afloat. Farther down the coast we came to a dead end, at the cliffs edge. But hiding off to the side of the road were 2 unique houses, called Blue cottages. They were built in 1920-30 and are now owned by a Charles MAcDonald Society. I thought we were in a fairy tale.

After leaving the coast, we continued through the center of the peninsula, the Annapolis Valley. This is the agriculture area and there were plenty of roadside farmers markets to stop at. Corn, beans (yellow and purple), berries, tomatoes all plentiful. We have some corn to try for our next meal. One thing I've noticed is produce is reasonable in the markets, not so at the stands. But that's another entry, another day.
