Leaving Grand Manan Island caused a pang in the heart. Our time spent there was
really special and we hated to depart, but additional special places awaited.
Lunenburg, Nova Scotia came as a real surprise. We
knew it was a World Heritage City, but had no idea how
intriguing it would be.
We loved the colorful houses with the famed "Lunenburg Bump"
and were quite delighted to watch the Europa sail into port.
Spent an entire day at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic learning more about the fishing industry and watching the crew of the Europa as they climbed up those tall masts and worked with the sails.
We also learned about the Bluenose and the Bluenose II--which we saw in dry dock. The story of the original ship is very poignant.
After a fine stop visiting friends in Pittsburg, we came back to West Virginia and bid a
sad farewell to our campsite that we have loved and enjoyed for many years. Saying,
"until next time" to so many friends was very difficult.
Now that the Airstream is on the road, we will be headed to TX soon.
