Day 42. sept 17, 2013. Touring Nova Scotia

Left Halifax and followed the South Coast.  Went to quaint Lunenburg, another suggested place in my book   "1000 Places to Go".  The British sponsored Protestant Germans and French to settle here in 1700s as long as they promised to build the town according to a set of plans.  They did so, and  they have preserved the same town layout and buildings since then.  We had lunch in a pub.  Due to the German settlers, there is a lot of German food influence.  We had wurst and sauerkraut, both made locally.

Drove across the peninsula to the Bay of Fundy area.  We found an almost empty campground.  Lovely site along a river with our private pit toilet.  See photo with it and the various recycle bins.  

This area is famous for its scallops.  We sautéed them and added to yesterday's leftover shrimp pasta.  Also had broccoli with melted cheese, all cooked successfully over the campfire for dinner.

There is a touch of fall in the air.  We are under an oak tree with acorns falling around us.  Some trees are starting to turn.  Canada geese flying over us heading south....probably to Rochester!!
