Took the old hwy 1 along the coast along the Evangeline Trail through the Clare region -Acadian, mostly French names and bi-lingual signage. Many 100+ year old churches and homes.
Checked into Dunromin RV at Granville Ferry, just on the outskirts of Anapolis Royal just in time to have pork pot pie lunch at the Stone Horse Restaurant. Our waitress told us about growing up on Briar Island at the end of the Digby Neck (spit) so we decided to beat the rain and took a drive out to the end of the spit. This involved taking 2 short ferries to get there. She actually gave us her tickets for the ferrries.We stopped for ice cream and consequently missed the next ferry back so had time to stake out the side roads.
On our way back through Digby we stopped for a delicious Digby scallop 
dinner. The owner there really filled us in on the life and harvesting of lobsters & scallops. Included is a photo of his 12.5 lb lobster and his pet blue lobster. We planned to go to the cemetary tour at Fort Anne at 9:30, guided by a host with a lantern, but spent too long at dinner. Yet another busy but great day :)
