Thursday

We left PEI, re-entered New Brunswick and now we are in Nova Scotia! First we headed down to Parrsboro to the Fundy Geological Museum.

 We arrived there near closing (because Cooper was driving) the people said it was okay to go through and look for free as long as we didn't touch the bones. It was very educational and the displays were well done (even Cooper could understand it).  They had some of the fossils of the oldest dinosaur found in Canada. One of the technicians there showed us a small fossil that she had been working on. If was the bottom jawbone of a very small reptile. After leaving the museum we headed down a windy coastal route and ended up at Cape d'Or. The tide was out so Cooper and I decided to take a walk along the shoreline to see what we could find. We found a lot of interesting stones and I found a piece of a rib bone from a whale. I made Cooper make the same promise to me as he made to the girl at the museum "Don't touch the bones". 

 It's getting late now and we are parked right next to a lighthouse for the night! 

                                                                     Good night!

the Wednesday post..

Good morning! It's a cloudy day and we are off exploring the Central Coastal Drive. The red cliffs along this route were absolutely amazing! We stopped at various lookout points and took in the views. During our tour we stopped in a town called Avonlea where this girl lived, Anne of Green Gables. Here they had recreated a town for a tv show that used to be on. The town is still there for people and dogs to visit. After our visit to Avonlea we headed down the coast some more until we got to Summerside, where we decided to spend the night.

Tuesday

It's early and today we leave Hopewell Rocks.  Magnetic Hill in Moncton, New Brunswick was to be the first stop of the day. Yes the hill where you drive to the bottom and the hill pulls your vehicle back up to the top. Cool! Weird, but cool!  We tried it three times!  But before arriving there we had some technical difficulties.  We ruptured a fuel line and made a few stops at different service centres but the service centres that came shining through and was very helpful and prompt at getting us back on the road was Multi Radiator Services in Moncton. Thanks again for helping us out!  After Magnetic Hill Cooper and I head to PEI where we crossed on the Confederation Bridge.  Ever since then it has rained, no down poured constantly.  Hopefully tomorrow the places we see will look like the brochures sunny with blue skies.
                                                          Till then...
