PEGGY’S COVE – We enjoyed a beautiful day here on Sep.12th … 4 days later it was in the news being ravaged by Hurricane Lee! 😳 How did Peggy’s Cove get it’s name? The story goes … a young girl named Peggy was traveling to Halifax to meet her fiancée when the ship she was in foundered on the rocks. She was rescued by some local folk, who later when they would go to visit her would say they were going to see “Peggy of the Cove”
I think we agreed the most fun we had here was climbing around on all the cool rocks, and just sitting and watching the sea waves
LUNENBURG – In 1921 – The original Bluenose ship is built in only 96 days to enter a fishing schooner race between the Canadian Maritimes and the New England states. The Bluenose won the race against the rival American schooner and remained the undefeated champion until the last International Fisher’s Race in 1938. In 1946 the Bluenose struck a reef while carrying freight off the coast of Haiti and sank.
CAPE BRETON ISLAND – Only got a few quick hours to experience some of the Cabot Trail while awaiting our midnight ferry to Newfoundland, but we made the most of it
I appreciate getting to see these beautiful places vicariously! Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming. 🙂
I’m glad you’re enjoying it; I’m having a lot of fun writing and posting them!
Love the feet pictures 😄
Nova Scotia is so beautiful!
Looks like they have horse-drawn carriage rides there too 😉
Haha well I stole the idea from my sister Karen about 10yrs ago actually 🤣 It’s fun!
Some people are so talented! The granite carving of the fishermen was my favorite.
Ya and actually even more amazing is that the artist was 70yrs old when he started the carving and it took him 6yrs!
Aww. I love Cape Breton. That is so great to see these photos and hear of your travels. Thanks for sharing. We have a family reunion going on right now but we were unable to go.
Thanks David, I’m enjoying myself doing this blog! Sorry to hear you couldn’t get away to your family reunion 😕
