Sunset at Scot's Bay*********************************************************
David and I both had work to do at the Michelin sites up in Nova Scotia, Canada. We had a lot to see and do at the 3 sites but we were also able to spend a few days sightseeing this beautiful place up North.
Our plane literally blew in to the airport (there was 50+ mph wind and rain) on Friday but since then the weather has been absolutely beautiful. We spent weekend driving around the province, mostly along the coast which took us to Peggy's Cove, Scot's Bay, a few wineries, and of course some great seafood spots. We stayed at the Blomidon Inn, a historic location in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Wolfville is on the Minas Basin which is a part of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy is known for having the largest tidal range in the world. Between high tide and low tide the tide can vary 30 some feet and sometimes in excess of 50 feet. More than 100 billion tons of seawater flow in and out of the bay during one tide cycle - more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers! It is quite a sight to see, if you are going to explore the area - you better keep an eye on the tide cycle or the areas where there is no water a few minutes ago, will soon start filling up! Our friend Beth, who work for Michelin Canada, took us on a nice (LONG!) hike/walk near the dikes around the Minas Basin. It was nice to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery.
