| Here are some pictures from Nova Scotia for you guys. What a beautiful place! My ancestors on my grandfather's side are Acadien so the trip was meaningful for me as well.
Here is a banner of the Acadien flag flying proudly in the breeze at Belliveau Cove:
Here is the lighthouse at the cove - one of many we saw.
This is low tide at Blomidon Park on the Minas Basin. One of the specks in the distance is my daughter at the waterline, about a half-mile away.
This is Blomidon Park at high tide
This is Hall's Harbor at low tide
This is Hall's Harbor at high tide, from the same bridge
This is the view from the deck on the main building at White's Point Resort where we spent 2 nights
My daughter had had 2 years of French in school, but was never taught the French word for poop. She giggled for a while over this one
Speaking of signs, these signs on the highway point the way to greenhouses (bottom left) and vineyards (bottom right) - the Idylls would be all set!
This is the view from Fort Point in Liverpool, as seen through the roses
I'll leave you with another stunning view
We absolutely fell in love with the place, and I'm sure we'll be going back.

| down east... down home... (although I'm from the next province north :-) You can't beat the east coast for picturesque! The Annapolis Valley in apple blossom season would make a good return trip - or the Wentworth Valley for fall color. |
