Saturday Evening

This was one of my favorite pictures I took today. I thought the vine looked interesting on the house at Lunenberg.


Many thanks for all of the comments! I am sorry that I have not had time to reply to all of them. We can talk about your comments when I get back. Please keep the comments coming. We have had people from all over the world look at the blog which is so interesting.
Friday night after dinner we headed into town to do our laundry. I think we scared everyone at the laundry because we came in with mounds of laundry and then took all the working machines. It was a big adventure! I forgot how much fun it was to watch the clothes spin in the dryer.

This morning was our free day and we took the ferry over to Lunenberg. The Ferry was a line ferry and that means that it did not need to be steered, just propelled by the engine. The cable (line) was attached to the ferry and guided it across. We did not get out of the van so I could only take a picture of the engine area.



Lunenberg is a quaint coastal town that use to be a fishing village.
There are still many boats there but most are recreational rather than for fishing. The weather was overcast but pretty warm.




Some of us in the group decided to go on a whale watching boat trip.





Wally of course wanted his own boat and crew.





The sea was not too rough but there was alot of chop. the whales might have been there but we did not see any. We did see some really cute seals and a variety of sea birds. I guess the storm might have scared them away.

After we arrived back from our trip most of us went over to the Museum to look at all the historical fishing exhibits. It was a wonderful day with a little shopping, touring, eating and boating all mixed together.

For those of you that guessed the mystery picture that looked like a pile of sticks in the water. If you guessed beaver dam or beaver lodge you were correct! Congratulations!

The cereal challenge is a little more tricky. The titles were in french but the pictures were pretty helpful weren't they. How many of you got them correct?





I had a lot questions about the spiders and I don't know what kind they were. Spiders are very important to us for many different reasons. Can you name some?

This mystery picture stumped alot of you. Some of you thought it was a fort someone else thought it was made out of lincoln logs. No one guessed that it was a foundation for a house. The picture on the right shows the corner of the house with the foundation.






I have lots more to share but will save that for tomorrow. Not sure about Hurricane Kyle ? No one has been in a hurricane except me and they are all excited about it. The locals do not seem to concerned either. I guess we will know more tomorrow. We are scheduled to go to Keji state park tomorrow, I hope we don't get rained out. The park is about the only place you can see moose in Nova Scotia and Wally really wants to see his cousins!
