Slept through free breakfast today and ditched the 3 to 4 hour detour to visit Springhill Mine Museum, I’ll just sing the song as I drive along in memory of all who died there.
Set the GPS to no highways, I’m still learning all the things it can do, maybe I should have read the instructions!   Headed off on a very scenic route to Digby.

Crossed over the Shubanacdie river when low tide.  Stumbled upon a very nice Interperative site with info about how the Bay of Fundy tides effect some much of the water system, very interesting.
A little later went into Windsor as I needed the bathroom and it was around lunch time.  Came upon a charming café where I had a real comfort food lunch, like Sunday supper growing up.  Sliced chicken breast on toast with gravy, some mashed potatoes and peas.  Mmmmm so good and so soothing.  Then poked around the neighboring book and antique stores.

It has been very cloudy and  humid, only occassional rain in the morning.  Drove into the serious rain in the afternoon as I approached Annapolis and  Bay of Fundy.  Should be very heavy tonight and through tomorrow.

At the Bayside Inn tonight, am right across the street from the Bay of Fundy and my  3rd floor room has the best view.  When I booked this I didn’t realize it was a third floor walk-up in a very old house with very high ceilings.  So charming, so quaint, so many stairs.  It’s for sale, mmmmm.
Tonight I had Digby Scallops for dinner, sort of my farewell meal to Nova Scotia.  They were scrumptuous!

Between the clouds and fog can’t access my “personal hot spot” or the Inn's WiFi.  May not get to post until tomorrow, or if weather is similar in New Brunswick, which is the forecast may have to wait until at home.
On the ferry, have a WiFi connection so off this goes.  Next update from New Brunswick, back on the mainland and not that many hours from home.
