June 29-July 1, Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove

We stayed 3 days at King Neptune cg in Peggy's Cove. This is the scene outside our window, early one morning. At first, the fog seemed to irritate me because you couldn't see the distant views. But then I became more aware of it's beauty; the serenity and stillness of it.

We went to Lunenburg today with Lou and Tom, to visit the Fisheries Museum. They are both enthusiastic travelers with a keen eye for adventure. The Bluenose II boat is a world champion schooner that has won many sailing races for Nova Scotia. Joe really enjoyed roaming around all the ships in the harbor.

Here's Joe with more of our new friends on the caravan, Dolly and Don. She is a cancer survivor and a true witness to God's mercy. What a delight she was!

Couldn't resist this photo op! It took several strong fishermen to remove this one from the trap!!!!!!!
The museum was fantastic. There were so many live demonstrations to include these ladies who were weaving linen from flax. There was a demonstration of how a ship is launched, videos about the life of a fisherman, a man who showed me how they caught cod and salted it down to preserve it until time to cook it. This is a must see if you go to

Lunenburg. The village itself is just adorable. Lots of architecture that's been authentically restored. It's CANADA DAY, July 1st and the owners of our campground have a huge picnic for all the campers, their family members and all the neighbors around the area. It was so refreshing to see how small town life still exists and flourishes here. They provided hot dogs and tons of other food and desserts. Boy, were there some desserts!

This is part of the family. The little lady in the middle is the grandmother and the two girls are the daughters. They lost their father, Vince, 6 years ago, but they honor him each year at this celebration by singing one of his favorite songs about the fisherman's life. The men at the grill were son-in-laws.


All the kids went crabbing. What fun they had! The way childhood should be, playing with what nature has provided.

The sea birds even joined in on the fun!


Joe got a big hug from Tanzy, Lou and Tom's precious dog.

Does it get any better than this? NO - Sitting by the seaside, hanging out with your friends, waiting for the sunset. This IS the good life and it's all about faith, family, and friends .
