Peggys Cove


Today is our last day in the Maritime Provinces of Canada and we spent the morning at the little fishing village of Peggy's Cove about 25 miles from our park.






The little village boasts 35 full time residents which is less than one of the tour buses that seem to be everywhere.









It's only about ten miles from Halifax but it seems a lot farther than that. You would never know there is a city of 350,000 people that close.









It was a dark, damp and gloomy day but we didn't let that slow us down. I wish the sun were out since this place would have been spectacular.






We stopped for breakfast at the sou west er and had this view from our window seat. Coffee, eggs and a view.... doesn't get any better.









The lighthouse stands on the rocks next to the restaurant and is just spectacular. The setting couldn't be better. This is what I think of when I think of a lighthouse. Off to St Stephen tomorrow morning and then to Bar Harbor, Maine on Saturday. We've enjoyed our time in Canada but it will be good to be back in the States.
