Travelling from Truro to Annapolis Royal. Weather today was a little of nearly everything. We had rain, fog, wind, drizzle and sun, but it all ended in a very nice day. The drive from Truro was thru rolling hills and farmland. Lots of dairy farms. We stopped at Grand Pre National Park. This park depicts the history of the Acadians and how they were forced to leave by the British during the early years. This event was the basis for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Evangeline'. Much unjust was done by the British and the New Englander's toward the Acadie people. On to the destination of Annapolis Royal. After setting up in the campground, we headed to Digby. Digby is know for the BEST scallops in the world. There were many little shops and many restuarants serving the scallops.
After dinner a lantern walk in the local cemetary and the ghost stories that followed.
