Today is Canada Day a national holiday similar to our July 4th. We drove west winding around St Margaret's Bay & Mahone Bay on the south shore of Nova Scotia passing through many small fishing villages with boats & sailboats anchored in the harbours. As we came around the bend in the road at Mahone Bay we were in awe at the scene across the bay of the three Church's of Mahone Bay. The Anglican built in 1833, the Trinity United Church built in 1863 and moved to it's present location in 1885 and the Lutheran Church built in 1869.
About 10 Km's on down the road we entered the town of Lunenburg on the Lunenburg Harbour of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a town that was established in 1753 and still maintains the original layout and original buildings. It is layed out in streets that parallel the harbour on a steep hill side. Each street is only about 1/2 block apart with the front of the buildings on one street and the rear of them on the next street. Each building had about 3 stories from front to back.
A bit of trivia, there is no place in Nova Scotia that is over 35 miles from the sea.Publish Post
