Day 40. Sept 15, 2013

Ferry landed at 9:00 yesterday.  We gained 30 minutes with time change.  Drove through a different part of Nova Scotia.  We stopped in Truro.  I grew up in Truro, Iowa, and believe my ancestors came from this town and from Truro, England.  Nice town.

As we were driving along, we saw this house with a yard full of Simpson cut-outs.  Weird!

Then on to Halifax, another busy port city.  We are staying in a campsite across the river.  We went into the city and found a great pub that daughter Meredith had found for us on Internet.  See picture of 1 1/2 pounds of mussels we ate for $2.99!  Delish.  Big cruise ship leaving harbor.  Beautiful weather, so the lakes and bays were full of sail ships.  So pretty.

Today was a seafood day.  For lunch, we just pulled over on the road and had smoked mackerel and crackers.  This evening, after the mussels in the pub, we bought and cooked squid over the campfire.  Only $2.00.
