Drove down to Digby. Stopped at a local vine yard (Lynley brought some wine, she had tasted the night before). Next stop was Grand Pre (Big meadow). This was an acadian village from which close to 1000 were deported to all parts of the British Colonies (Faulklands, Maryland, Louisianna etc). An excellent Park Canada national monument. Drove through some quaint towns, one had an Acadian University. Had lunch at Halls Harbour (it has to be seen to be believed), at our lobster we purchased yesterday (his name was Le Roy). Then it was on to Digby for the night. Had a brief stop at Annopolis Royal. Secured a little studio over a restaurant. Meet a canadian couple whose son had just graduated from Otago, so had a good chat with them. Tomorrow we will try and go whale watching.
