Sept 18 -Truro


We went through Stewiacke, which is half way between the Equator and the Arctic Circle. Leaves are beginning to turn bright colours.
We stopped at the Info Center in Truro, only to discover that we had a leaking transmission seal so made several phone calls to line up parts and service in Dartmouth on Monday AM. Robert Stanfield, former Premier of NS and leader of the Progressive Conservative Party and grandson of the Stanfield clothing company, hails from here. 6 sections of the Berlin Wall were donated to the city by a local resident. There are several tree sculptures in town carved from elm trees that were going to die from Dutch elm disease. There is strong Mi'Kmag Indian culture and history here.
