Tour de Fishing Village



Lunenburg, a UNESCO site*
*note, I didn't take this photo, but lifted it off their site





We were up at 7 and in the garden by 8 this morning picking pumpkins. By 10 we'd picked about 450 and after showering were off on a fishing village trip. We drove down to the South Shore and went through LaHave and stopped at the bakery there for a drink and a scone. Then we headed across the river on the cable ferry on the car (so cool). Photo below.

















Then we went to Lunenburg for lunch and poking around in the shops and then to Mahone Bay, famous for it's three churches all in a row on the waterfront. Photo below. (Now, this doesn't seem all that unusual to us, considering Nova Scotia has more churches than anywhere we've ever been before.)
















In all, it was about a 7 hour trip and it was fun. Tomorrow our British co-volunteer leaves, George is off from his regular job to work a 14 hour day to make tofu, Christy is going to pick pumpkins in the morning, and I'm driving to Halifax at 8 to get a bearing for the trailer in order for them to be able to use it. Then, afternoon of painting the pumpkin cart, then helping clean up from the 12 batches of tofu. Wednesdays are busy 'round here.
