Day Off... HOORAY! (and a little bit of waiting!)

Today we took off for an irresponsible but much needed DAY OFF! It was a very foggy and rainy day, so we took a meandering trip down the coast to Digby (see map below and the poorly drawn red line... yup, I'm wicked in paint :P)

First we drove down to Black Rock/Harbourville/Berwick area. Harbourville looks like it has very promising seafood in the on-season, so I'll definitely have to check that out before I leave.

Cool old apple tree... somewhere....


Harbourville Harbour

Harbourville Harbour. The ocean is behind that boat, it's just too foggy to see.

I didn't take any pictures in Annapolis Royal, which is ridiculous because it's gorgeous down there. Silly me! If you go to Nova Scotia, check out Annapolis Royal. It's the oldest continuous European settlement north of St. Augustine, Florida, founded in 1605 by your friend and mine, Mr. Samuel de Champlain. Yay Champlain!!!

Next we headed down to Digby. If you recall, Digby is where the ferry dock is for the New Brunswick to Nova Scotia ferry, and was the first place I saw in Nova Scotia (ahhh, memories...) We even stopped at the same Tim Hortons. It was magical, but I couldn't resist a small dig at my parents... "I remember this... this was before you dragged me off to the middle of nowhere." Haha... they didn't find that amusing... I wonder why... ANYWAY...

Through Digby, up the "scenic route" to Lighthouse Road, to the lighthouse on the cliffs. The lighthouse had a fantastic, earsplitting foghorn that might have replaced the Air Raid Siren as my new favourite sound. I'm going to have to get a video camera and start recording these before I leave.

Danger - Unstable Cliff sign. I collect Danger Sign pictures, by the way... I'm kind of crazy, hey? "Hi, I'm Gillian and I collect Danger sign photos and interesting sounds!" ... riiiight. Not surprising I'm single, eh?

The afore-mentioned unstable cliffs in the fog (the reason for the foghorn)

After the lighthouse we stopped at a questionable restaurant for lunch, and then my parents stopped at Canadian Tire to buy the entire stock of some discontinued glass cleaner... Sooo... WAITING PICTURES!

Belal had frizzy fur from the humidity ;) SO CUTE!

Me, pouting because Tims put sugar in my coffee... EEEAUW!!! TWO CREAMS, PEOPLE! NO SUGAR!!!

In conclusion, it was a lovely day!

Love to all!
