After a few days of fog the sun finally came out and we have had a beautiful few days and should continue thru the weekend. We have been out enjoying the sunny weather. We drove to Peggys Cove and it is "the" most beautiful place I have been- the best way I can find to describe Peggys Cove is- you feel like you have walked into a watercolor picture. Peggys cove was founded in 1811 and today there is a population of 80 and I could easily make it 82!


After we left Peggys Cove we drove to Lunenburg which was established in 1753. The town of Lunenburg is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is a great walking tour of the town with historic homes from 1760 to 1905 all beautifully restored nice waterfront area. The picture below was taken from the golf course accross the harbor.
