Everywhere we went we saw huge piles of firewood. H. U. G. E.
We traveled to Truro, I posted very little. Might have been worn out from Annapolis Royal?? Maybe. LOL

July 30, 2016 - - Annapolis Royal
Copyright by CABS for Reflections Visits Nova Scotia 2016
At Annapolis Royal is one of only 5 power generating plants like this one. It has to do with tides, salt water and other interesting stuff. It is the only tidal generating station in North America. Glad Man got to see this. It's the sparky kinda thing. You can read more about it here.
What the kids do when they are bored. I am here to tell you there are a lot of bored kids.
The search for quiet led us to docks. Boats. Beaches. Lighthouses.
We found it interesting to see stabilizer boards or something "tied" to the bottom of the boats. We have not figured out how they did that tho.
And note, the first public restroom, aka, outhouse, we have ever seen tied to boulders.
The entrance to this quiet harbor was very curvy. Photos did not capture.
Rocky beach.
Flowers. I still think they are roses. See other photos.
Yes that IS a Lotus. Very. Very. Cool. Original paint.
Those people standing on the pike of rocks will be under water if they stay too long. The tides here vary about 30 to 50 feet.
And one more lighthouse. Port George. They were having one heck of a country concert. Must have been a few hundred people there. It was a Natal celebration. More on that later.
Now, go google Natal birthday celebration. It's not a big day in other areas. But it is big in Halifax. And second largest in the province is in Annapolis Royal.
Fort Ann may be one of the most beautiful forts we have seen.
And there was an encampment. Fun!
We finished off this day by walking around town a bit, taking in the flowers, quaint homes, enjoying. Exhausted, but enjoying.
Roses:
More hostas:
Still enamored by the blue in the hydrangea. I saw one that was almost royal blue. So dark it was unbelievable.
Watching for the sailors to come home.
Zoomed in. Not sure what. But pretty.
Wifi really horrible tonight campground FULL.
We had a nice day driving the coast. Lunch was yummy.
Annapolis Royal celebrating Natal weekend. Big doings here. Second only to. Halifax. Interesting stuff.
Tomorrow back to Truro. 4 nights I believe.
We have decided Nova Scotia is Maine on steroids.

July 29, 2016 - - Digby
Copyright by CABS for Reflections Visits Nova Scotia 2016
A little cooler today, so far. Off to see Digby and find Al some famous Digby scallops.
Al found his scallops and we took a long ride. At the end of the ride we did not take the ferry, but, we did buy a steamed lobster.
What's for dinner??
SNORT

Digby. Yes. A lighthouse. Seem to be all same shape and size. Most decommissioned now. The sailors use GPS. Hope it's better than some of the lame GPS we use in our vehicles, eh?
It was low tide, therefore the boats are well below the docks.
Driving the Digby neck. Sea mist rolls in. Rolls out.
This was a ferry. Short ride. May have been free? We bought lobster near here. Yummy. All steamed. Took home. Got the meat out. Warmed up. Treat!

July 28, 2016 - - Arriving at Annapolis Royal
Copyright by CABS for Reflections Visits Nova Scotia 2016
Short ride to this park. We keep commenting how beautiful it is here. Hills. Water. Green. Repeat.
Man is checking in. The wifi required no password. Have no idea if it will work at campsite.
It's at least 80 here. I would have never guessed.
We have net. But, it tosses us off, back on, back off.
Story of net in Nova Scotia and most of Canada.
3 nights total here.
And, NO telie, had it, lost it, cannot get it back.
We are now near Annapolis Royal. We found this sweet little local museum, the O'Dell House Museum. I realized I took a few photos that represent heirlooms I have collected over the years from my Virginia kin. These photos were not shared on Facebook for some reason. (Probably cause I was tired?)
I think I would like to have afternoon tea here, don't you?
Man found a roadside table selling blueberries. I found more flowers and another lighthouse.
A huge hillside of wild roses, well I think they are wild roses.
Love. Love. Love. This photo frame.
Chased this bee around while he was having a snack.
Our friendly campground director.
