Our first day in Nova Scotia has gone well. A little problem getting up (something about a time change), but otherwise it went well. As we headed south from the hotel on the Glooscap trail (the first of several planned lighthouse tours), the highway looked much like the back country in New York.
We managed to find a light that I hadn't been able to pin down - the Apple River light. (We did have to ask a local for help.) That was a significant step.
Then we got to the Cape d'Or (cape of Gold) and the scenery is just gorgeous. It took 2 tries to get the directions right, and then 4 1/2 km of very steep dirt roads to get there, but it was worth it.
We saw 4 more lights that you can see at http://www.lighthousesrus.org/Canada/NovaScotia.htm#NS17B (You'll note I've date stamped the ones we saw today.
We cut today short so we had time to get home and do some buying.
We went downtown for dinner and to see what we can find on the historic main street. The architecture of the buildings is neat, but the selection of restaurants is poor. We ate well where we went, but it was mostly good luck.
