Tourist Highlights

We travelled from Halifax to Sussex today. This part of the country is certainly very beautiful! Lots and lots, and lots of trees. Dense forests lined both sides of the road for much of the way. The highways are the neatest colors- there were sections where it was red, green and in some small sections Blue! The water was a weird red color- and seemed quite muddy- due mostly to the red clay soil I would think. And although beautiful the province apparently does not believe in signage. The town of Truro had us lost for more than an hour. You could imagine how happy we were. 

 

After that it was smooth sailing- we made it to Hopewell Rocks and it was  pretty neat to see.

Wicca was convinced that there were Gophers out there!

Unfortunately we had bad timing and the tide was in so we were unable to go right down but it was still pretty cool. Kaleb was convinced that he should be allowed to go swimming! The dogs had a great walk though and Sarah got some neat photos. 

Sarah and I both had our moments of excitement-



hers when she spotted an old covered bridge (which was very cool, but kind of scary) and mine when we saw our first Cows since being here! Kind of reminded me of home I suppose! There were no cowboys though!

Our last stop of the day was in a cute town called Alma. It was very touristy and had a cute pirate store.


Sarah was captured by Pirates but brave Kaleb saved her :o)  It was here that Kaleb FINALLY made it into the ocean!

We are now settled in our hotel room in Sussex- the dogs are hangin' out- tomorrow will be a day of rest- and a day of shopping- we need a shade tent (with sides) and raincoats....the forecast is calling for rain, rain, and more rain....
