We have been in the tiny town of Louisbourg on Cape Breton for ten days. Such a nice home base and have made friends with the locals and Robin even fished off the wharf with a new friend.
Alan has been trying to teach her the metric system and he often tests her knowledge to the frustration of all involved. She has the money exchange down (much to our advantage since the Canadian dollar is down). The liter to gallon of diesel is somewhat a mystery and the milliliter has a way to go as yet!
When last I left you they were off to the Beggars Banquet here in Louisbourg. A fun experience where everyone dresses in period costume and are fed and entertained!
They go to Sydney for the farmers markets and Robin has found many gluten free treasures. She loves Canada!
Yesterday they had savory gluten free crepes...she's in heaven! Alan bought some sour dough bread from a nice German baker and the homemade chocolate gems were to die for!
They have been walking some great trails. The lighthouse trail is beautiful and one of the favorites. They also went back to the fortress for another day of history and they walked the Old Town Trail along the Harbour to the fortress.
Today we are leaving Louisbourg to continue our travels. Saturday night was a street dance with a pretty good live band and then Sunday was the lobster feed at the Firehouse followed by a 30 person bike ride through town as a local fundraiser. We will miss our little town but we're off to new adventures.
Bye for now...
I loved you in costume
