Day 41. Sept 16, 2013. Halifax, Nova Scota

We had a great hike along a canal in a park adjacent to our campsite.  Then took a drive along the coast, which had been recommended in our book "1000 Places to See Before You Die. " One place we visited was full of tourists.  They were from the 2 cruise ships docked in Halifax.  We had fish and chips from a "chip truck"---see photo.  Was on George's bucket list

It was a gorgeous day, so I planned a gourmet supper to leisurely cook around the campfire.....best laid plans....started to pour right when we returned.  I had already bought shrimp, so we couldn't go to Plan B..a restaurant.  So, we had to be inventive....

Our site has electricity, which was a help.  We boiled up water for pasta in the electric tea kettle, then cooked in the microwave.  (Another helpful kitchen utensil that has been so helpful is the Pampered Chef microwave cooker with drainer. ). Then we drove to a picnic shelter in the campsite.  George  was able to back in, so we were able to get things out of the back of the car without getting  soaked.  Using the propane grill, I  made a sauce by sautéing the shrimp shells in butter, garlic, and white wine.  Then  we sautéed shrimp, onion, and garlic, added the drained sauce, and poured over the pasta.  Made garlic toast in our handy George Forman grill.  All with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.  Feast for kings!

We met a couple from Massachusetts and chatted with them after dinner.  They came up here to surf.
