I can't believe it's been over 6 months since the last update. Hopefully you all know that this winter has been really harsh in Quebec, and the few phone lines we have did not work for most of the season.
But with spring coming, we finally got the rest of our pictures from the lab. You may notice an improvement as they have apparently updated their printing machine.
So after an amazing time, albeit too short, on PEI - we were excited to discover Nova Scotia. Our third province on this grand tour.
Our first sight was the recent boat that was acquired by the Nova Scotia Navy.
I am not an expert on boat but apparently this is the best you can get for your Canadian dollar. Our taxes at work in other words.
We spent the night in a nice village called "Pictou". This is where the ferry takes you from PEI.
The downtown area was relatively quiet on this spring night.
Persephone spotted this 1973 Impala - a classic model which still looked pretty decent after 13 years on the road.
This is a picture of the local bank. Getting cash is always a challenge on the road. We have some traveler's checks however it's not always easy to get the local people to accept them. Apparently there has been an fraud issue with travelers from Nigeria before.
I wish someone would invent some sort of automatic cash dispenser that would not require us to talk to a human being.
There were very few restaurants open that night and after several days surviving on poutine only, we decided to go crazy and try the local Chinese restaurant.
The meal was good but the fortune message in the cookie left us a bit perplexed.
