Today is our oldest son's 53 B'day. I guess we are getting old.
Today we took the grand tour south on Lunenburg along the water to
Rose Bay thru many small towns, some with huge homes painted in their favorite colors of Blue , Red, yellow and other basic colors. We were told by our tour guide in Lunenburg that a fishing Captain's house was often painted the leftover paint from his boat, hence the loud color.
We then drove on both sides of the La Have river. This river starts in the interior of NS and when it reaches Bridgewater it widens into a lake type feature and is quite wide for the next 30 KM until it reaches the ocean. About 1/2 way from Bridgewater there is a rope tow ferry to connect the East and West shore. I doubt that it is really required today but I assume it would be " Political Suicide " to try and stop it. Both side of the La Have river is smattered with small towns of which some are fishing villages while other a tourist " Trap " for us suckers ( namely Carroll ) who just have to by a trinket or two.
However we did stubble over a fanatic beach on a long spit of land after we left the mouth of the river This beach is called Crescent Beach because of its' shape . It stretches for about 15 KM out into the Atlantic. Vehicle are allowed to drive its' length and there were many vehicles park allow its' length as far as the eye could see. It reminded us of South Padre Island for those of you who have been there. I'm sure it is Paradise for the Sun Bathers in the summer.
We arrived back at our camp site around 4:30 so it was time again for Miller Time. So I walked around talking to folks from Alberta, Ontario and of course the two ladies camped next to us. These ladies had a rented class C MH so they were restricted where the could go or what they could see since they did not have a tow car. cheers
