Sept 5, 2009 Day 8

Another warm sunny day. Immy and Jennie
decided to go on a 1.5 hr sailing trip.

It's great to have the campsite on the edge of town, we could walk everywhere. Right on the downtown road, 2 men were building canoes. This was a one way road, so a little more room to work, I guess.

Here we're waving off the brave sisters.













This is the restaurant we ate in last night.
It's such a picturesque fishing village, perched on the edge of the Atlantic.












While the ladies were sailing, the three of us went to a fishing museum.
This lobster was 25 lbs and was a former resident of the aquarium. The largest lobster caught in Nova Scotia was 44 lbs and was probably 50 yrs. old.

I found this to be fascinating. It took us awhile
to figure out what plugs were.

This shows where the plugs are positioned, it prevents the lobsters from attacking each other once they're caught.

Again, the men were in their glory with all the motor stuff in the museum.

A gorgeous wall to wall painting of Jesus calming the water.

The sailboat on the right is the one on the right. The weather was very calm for them.

On our way back, we walked through a few back streets. This Anglican church looks like a painting. We left Jennie behind, and she bought more jewelery. Her 5th piece since we left. No gift shop gets by Jennie.






At 2:15 we left Lunenburg to head to Dartmouth to visit our dear friends Tom and Gerda, from our young people days. We arrived in Dartmouth (Shubie campgrd) at 4:30. At 5, we arrived at their home and first did shopping in her little store in the basement. Mostly goodies. Very lekker.

We sure are a great looking bunch...

Tomorrow, we are going to their church.

Love to you all, especially our grandchildren. Hugs for all of you
