Nova Scotia!

Janet and Phil go to Nova Scotia!  We don't know where that is, but we do know how long it takes to go from Toronto to Victoria in the cargo hold, so we are likely to pass on Nova Scotia.

Amber's very nice Dad, Wayne is taking care of us.  It goes without saying that I am the model of doggie perfection.  Sherman, however, is a major turd head.  He now thinks he needs to go potty at 5:15AM, sharp, every morning.  Wayne assured Janet he was an early riser, but nobody in their right mind wants to get up at 5:15AM!  Poor Wayne!

They stayed in a lovely B & B in Port Williams, called Planters Barracks.  It was built in 1778 and has all the things Janet loves - uneven floors, crooked stairs and uneven door jambs.  The minute Janet saw the exterior photo (which oddly enough is better than Janet's photo!) and found out how old it was, it was a done deal!

This is Janet's version of a made bed - not that of the Innkeeper!

First lunch out was The Port.  Lobster Risotto and Seafood Chowder:

They checked with the Innkeeper, Erin, about dinner.  Erin suggested The Noodle Guy, but said it might be tough as on Thursday, it's Beer, Burger and Salad night that is usually pre-sold out.  Erin, however, called and they were told to get their butts over there.


Generally speaking, Janet would not order a hamburger in a restaurant.  However, Thursday night is the only night they do hamburgers and they could always come back later to enjoy the rest of the menu.  Janet says it was a fabulous burger.  They make everything in house, including the hamburger bun!
Next up was lunch at Lucketts Vineyard.  The weather was incredibly miserable and cold so the outdoor patio was closed.  They make a variety of wines, which include Phone Booth White and Phone Booth Red.
The Acadians have a very sad and interesting history in Nova Scotia.  Janet and Phil visited Grand Pre - a National Park about the Acadians.  This is the Covenantars Church, which is related to the history and is the oldest existing Presbyterian Church in Canada.

Good night, cow guys!
