On To Halifax

Best Western breakfast this morning was better than most. We packed up and headed for Starbucks (Jeff) and the Nova Scotia Art Gallery (me)! The NSAG is the largest in the Atlantic provinces. The Maude Lewis exhibit is my focus.  It was wonderful, sad and very thought provoking what this tiny challenged woman endured.  Jeff joined me at the gallery and we enjoyed the Maude exhibit together then purchased a book on her life in the gift shop.
Next we were onto Peggy’s Cove, we had been there with our friends Reva and Mike some 20 years ago when the four of us traveled to Nova Scotia and celebrated their daughter Nikka’s 21st birthday.
This morning the Cove was very busy with tourists everywhere. We stayed for a few photos and a walk up to the lighthouse then drove a short way from the hustle to a small cafe serving lobster rolls which we sat on their porch and devoured.
The drive down the coast toward Chester was exquisite.....so many coves and little bays, neat little places , some for sale, Jeff wants them all!  But today he found his favourite just outside of a Peggy’s Cove.
We booked a b&b in Digby and were here about 5pm. Our room is overlooking the sea, charming and the hosts are friendly, we will breakfast tomorrow at 8.
After we settled in we walked down the seafront to a bar called Dockside, had a beer and dinner.....a seafood sampler for me and a dish of scallops for Jeff. Both delicious. We sat at the bar and had good conversation with another customer and the two bar girls.....it was a quiet night.....off season, mid week! Just how we like it sometimes......although fiddle music would be welcome.....we miss you Cape Breton!!!
A short walk back to our b&b. Nite nite.
