Day 4, Sept 15 continued




Louisbourg fortress





Pop quiz- What is this?


A 2 holer for the guards at the wall



I went to what is labeled as the sight of the Marconi tower according to the sign along the road. I couldn’t find a plaque or anything, but it sure is purty there!



Next stop was a nearby lighthouse. I took WAY too many pictures- I’ll only bore you with one.



Oh yeah, this little guy was on the road to the lighthouse. He would not come close enough for a good pic- some kind of fox?



Canada’s first light house was built here. I burned down almost immediately….



It replaced, and then the replacement was replaced.

Dinner was fish cakes, complete with live entertainment. 3 different people recommended the same place. It’s either good, or people here have large families. The people here are very friendly. Walking to dinner, some guy chatted my up and gave me a quick run down of what he was or fixing ( a net & line puller), how scalloping works, how New Brunswick bought the fish out from under a local operator, and more I’m forgetting.


Sorry for the faux pas of eating before pics, I was hungry.

I’m camped out in the same place again, and probably tomorrow night, too. It seems like a good base to poke around the area, is convenient to the ferry, and I HATE making and breaking camp in the rain!! I’m becoming known as the crazy guy that rides his motorcycle in the rain. And the 3rd nite is free

Of course it’s raining again. I’m in the gazebo updating my blog & eating really good chocolate. Gotta remember to buy me some booze.
