Today we went to Wood Point, NS. It is a working fishing village. As you can see the road is narrow and the buildings are right on the street. We watched the lobster boats and other fishing boats. There is also a lighthouse here. We took pictures of it. We also had a piece of pie and coffee at the Old Loft Restaurant, which is on the second floor and overlooks the St. Lawrence Gulf. Bill and I had fresh blueberry pie with ice cream and Dianna had Partridge Berry pie with ice cream. Partridge berries taste like red rasberries with out the seeds, or tart cherries. They are about the size of blueberries or cranberries. They grow in bogs here. They are a wild berry. They also have a wild fruit called bakeapple. We haven't tried them yet, but they have them in jams. We then returned to Rocky Harbor and went back to the lighthouse there to see if the person on duty there had a cross-stitch pattern for the nautical alphabet. She had made a postcard of it, but no cross-stitch pattern. We then went back to the harbor at Norse Pt. The big sail boat had left. We saw it out in the water and it had 3 of its sails up, but there were several more that weren't up yet. We then headed back to the coach. This was a lazy day. We slept in and had a big breakfast before we headed out. Dianna was having Post Office withdrawals, so we stopped by there to mail some photos to Owen. The time difference here is 1 and 1/2 hours ahead of home. That takes some getting used to as well. The weather today has been beautiful and sunny. The high was probably 66. We had a couple of gusts of wind last night and a shower that did not last very long nor was it a hard rain. That will all we felt of tropical storm "Bill."
We had another good day.
