Today we traveled to Yarmouth to visit an ex military buddy and wife, who I joined with and who we have not seen since 1992. Yarmouth is a 2 hour drive from our Park in Middleton but it is not worth moving the MH because we would have to return since we are going to Mahone Bay on the north coast tomorrow.
Our friend Grace advised as to take the coastal road from Weymouth to Yarmouth so we see all the small towns and fishing villages along the way. These towns and / or Hamlet were very interesting and some of the houses were painted in very outlandish colours. However, they do not look out of place here but they sure would at home.
We probably spend an hour driving this route and one small town had all there Signage in French which surprised us. They even had a College, which we drove into and again all signs were in French.
We stopped in a few towns to look at the scenery but besides a fish/lobster plant or two and some tied up boats, as the tide was out, there wasn't much else to see but the scenery.
We got to Yarmouth about 12:30 and since our friends ( their names are Tom and Carol ) live outside of the city, they suggested we meet at the Cdn Tire Store and then go for lunch where we could visit and swap stories.
Of course we ordered fish or lobster again, as I think we have it for at least one meal every day and why not. After lunch we went back to our friends home to continue our visit. Tom and Carol have several small plots of land, mostly wood lots, which total about 60 acres Tom was born and raised in this exact area and they just love the country living.
About 5 PM were where mostly talked out so Carroll and I headed home with a 2 hour drive ahead of us. We ran into rain several times so I guess NS is getting the rain that they wish they could have gotten in the summer. Most people are complaining about their " burnt " lawns. cheers
