We actually had to go back to the hotel room because Stinkypaw couldn't drink properly and had to change her top. And all those talks I've heard about opposable thumbs and stuff they have, making them more evolved than animals, yeah right!
Anyway. We met up with her Postcrossing friend and her husband and headed for a little road trip. Despite Stinkypaw's hubby lack of interest in seeing Peggy's Cove (just a lighthouse, according to him), I'm happy we went. It was quite the sight!
I guess we were lucky enough that there was wind and the waves were crashing, showing and reminding us of what a force of nature the sea is. Look at this nice picture of us three.
Don't we just look like the puuuurrrfect little family? Can you believe some people were taking pictures of me, as I sat there posing for Stinkypaw? Some were even being nosy enough and asking if I'd traveled anywhere else in the world. I tell you some people, as if they'd never seen a trimmed beaver before!
We walked around some, took some pictures, that place was quite scenic to say the least. Stinkypaw even got her passport stamped by the lady at the postal counter (just like she did when we went to the Arctic Circle Center a few years ago)...
We continued our drive by heading to Lunenberg, also a picturesque, quaint little town. They had lunch on a terrace on the waterfront, quite the view and then walked around some. One thing we've noticed since we've been visiting Canada, it closes early. By 5 p.m. the little shops were closing. This morning we've noticed that most restaurants were not opening before 10 am, thus making them go to Starbucks! Those Canadians, I tell you, they almost have union hours!
On our drive back to Halifax, we spotted ring-a-dings as Stinkypaw calls them (they're actually lupins) and she managed to catch a picture of them, love those weeds!
You must admit they're not bad, right? Right! Glad you agree!
We were almost at Mahone Bay - here's the proof that I've been there! |Also quaint and picturesque.
From there it was cruising along the highway, Nova Scotia style. I must say, despite being all relaxed and stress free, it was a long day. Stinkypaw had not really realized how far of a drive it was from Halifax. She was happy to spend that time with her friends exploring that part of Canada. She believes, as I do, it was worth every moments, and we're all thankful to our local "guides". I guess it is true what is said about those Canadians folks being nice and all...
