Today
we relaxed and took a closer look at the area around the campground.
Crescent Beach and the Islands
The
entrance to Crescent Beach is about
a kilometer east of our campground. The road along the beach is the pathway to the
LaHave Islands. Some of the islands are connected by bridges. Fortunately,
the Lewis home on Bell Island is one
with a bridge.

Rissers
Beach
We spent the morning walking along Rissers Beach and on the boardwalk over the marshes of the Petite Riviere watershed.
Did
You Know?
Canada
ceased distribution of pennies on February 4, 2013. Now they round the sale amount up or down to
the nearest 5-cent increment.
The
Canadian $1 coin is known as a “Loonie” and the $2 coin is a “Toonie”. Go figure.
Our Hostess
Fran Lewis has been a wonderful hostess and tour guide. Her home, originally built by Captain Bell and his wife Ada in the late 1800s, offers many wonderful views of the past and present.
