Day 12 - August 18 - Peggy's Cove...

We decided to stay another day in Halifax because we wanted to spend the day in Peggy's Cove (which is only a 35 minute bike ride away from our Hotel..

Peggy's Cove is small - no doubt about that - but so beautiful you that yoiu would want to live there - not just spend the day.

The following photos will give you just a taste of life in this peaceful town...

 This is the only real restaurant in town where we enjoyed a late lunch....

Butternut squash soup, lobster roll, seafood cakes and

topped it off with the best Ice Cafe Mocha!!!

 Jack Sparrow decided to make an appearance - kind of looks familiar.

This memorial was cut out of a solid rock in the village

of Peggy's Cove. The left half is showing the helmsman

and wheel and then a guardian angel looking over the men at sea.

The remainder shows fishermen in their activities at sea. The central part shows the lobster men, of course, and a long line of fishermen hauling in the huge nets from the ocean.

By the way - only 35 people live in Peggy's Cove!

We will be on our way tomorrow to stay with some aquaintences near Digby.  The next morning (early) we will be taking the ferry over to St. John and then move on to our Hotel for that day.  It will probably be a very long day for us so we may not do a blog that night .  If so look for a double-blog Saturday night.  However if there is free internet on the ferry we may do the Friday blog then.

Thanks for following our blog,

BCINGU... Bill and Jeanie
