Fran
and Henry gave us a top-flight tour of the area. We went to LaHave, Lunenburg
and Mahone Bay.
LaHave
We
took the cable ferry across the LaHave River to East LaHave as a shortcut to Lunenburg.

| Dick, Carol, Fran, Henry |
We
stopped at LaHave Bakery on the way
home. It’s very popular and we learned why (no details to follow).

Lunenburg
Lunenburg
is a high-class, lively seaport community. We toured the downtown and had a delightful
lunch at Salt Shaker Deli.

| The waterfront |
 |
| Lunenburg Academy (historical site) |
 |
| St. John's Anglican Church |
 |
| St. John's bell ringer |
 |
| There are lots of colorful Victorian homes. |
 |
| Bluenose II |
Mahone Bay
Mahone
Bay is smaller than Lunenburg and a bit less “uppity”. It caters to lots of
tourists. We stopped at Amos Pewterers
and then toured some of the town on the way home.
These
three prominent churches along the harbor have become an iconic image of Nova Scotia.

| St. James' Anglican Church (L) St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church (R) |
 |
| Trinity Unity Church |
Silly
Fun
Fran
& Dick may have invented the next big household accessory. For those who
are irritated by bar soap that sits in water and gets gooey … try this. We got
a small plastic storage container and a package of plastic hair rollers at the
Dollar Store. The rollers provide a base to elevate the soap and allow the
water to drain into the container. We’re in the testing phase.

Tonight
We
had a wonderful dinner at Fran’s and shared lots of family history.
