Moving on.........

We left the ferry rides behind and lumbered NE into Nova Scotia yesterday.   

 This is the only map that would download but wanted to give you a geography lesson.    Maine is a short drive SW from ST John on the left on the map.   We drove about 2 hours up to Moncton yesterday and then 2 hours south until we came to Truro.   Tomorrow we will drive another 4 hours or so up near the Cape Breton Highlands.     Truro is an agricultural area of rolling hills, cows, pine trees and proximity to fresh seafood.    Homes are   well tended with gardens and flowers.  

We headed out to the downtown Farmer's Market and it was so worth it.    The produce was fresh, abundant and colorful.....

 Of course, the bread was irresistible and I had to buy some strawberry/rhubarb homemade jam to go with it.   I almost succumbed to some hand knit sox since I only brought short cotton ones with me.  But then realized that if I concentrated for a couple of days, I could have my own hand knits since I brought an unfinished pair with me.  

Then we stopped at a unique market near our CG and fell into a fresh seafood lunch plus some warm-from-the-oven rolls to make sandwiches, using garden-grown tomatoes......No, we haven't had to buy new clothes to accommodate all the delicious food we've tried.   Actually, we eat out very little and watch what we eat at home and get our daily walks in..........but sometimes we fail.   

We're finding the Canadians to be very friendly, the weather is clear, dry and sunny, and perfect with a sweatshirt for our evening campfire.    Gas is about $4.25 a gallon and a bit more for diesel.   We found that they have COSTCO up here !!     And Wal Mart only has a few groceries and most everything is written in French/English.  

One other tidbit.....Nova Scotia is halfway between the North Pole and the Equator.....

And, we still have access to our Direct TV so we get our evening news same as always and we watched the British Open golf today.    We have internet at this CG and hopefully, at the next one.    

We're looking forward to exploring the Cabot Trail and the Cape Breton Highlands next week.    Stay tuned..........
