Nova Scotia

Drove into NS after finding the St Tomas lobster market, brought a lobster to eat latter on. In NS we visited Oxford (the self rated capital of wild blue berries). Visted an information centre on wild blueberries and maple syrup. Had a great blue berry pie and brought some maple syrup.
Drove a "scenic highway", very poor road so I didnt see anything but the road. Stopped at a local museum in East Hast. In the local church yard were a nmber of COX gravestones. This got Lynley interested in wether they were connected.
Made Windsor in the early evening staying at a local motel. visited a local fort, the oldest blockhouse in Canada? The sight of where over 1100 acadian were housed prior to deportation in 1755. The deportation was reversed about 9 years later, allowing them to return to NS. A very sad story.
Had a great evening meal/
