    Chattanooga

    23 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Our first stop was Chattanooga to visit family and join the Rao's Landcruiser Rally. It was nice to spend time with my sister Pat and to be with her whole family Thursday night. We had lots of fun and laughs sightseeing with our RV friends (Rao's, Basile's, and Orchard's). We even got Dick to ride the Incline to the top of Lookout Mountain!Leggi altro

    Lancaster/Hershey

    28 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Nice morning in Amish country around Lancaster. After a filling Amish lunch, we went Hershey for the chocolate tour. We raced home to close up the coach and take Zoey with us to Petsmart to sit out a tornado warning for our area. We drove through golf ball hail and high winds to get there. All is well. We did see a couple of trees down on the way home. One was on top of a truck!Leggi altro

    Watkins Glen

    31 maggio 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Finally a beautiful sunny day. Nice lunch outside by a fire pit on Seneca Lake at the Blue Point Grill. Good food and a surprise of chocolate covered cherries on a bed of whipped cream complimentary dessert! Afterward we hiked the Gorge Trail in Watkins Glen State Park which has 19 waterfalls along the trail. Spectacular! Afterward we drove the road along Seneca Lake for a wine tasting at Hazlitt 1852 Vineyard.Leggi altro

    Lake George, NY

    4 giugno 2019, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    We arrived in Lake George Sunday evening after driving once again in pouring rain. On Monday we drove among the mansions in Saratoga Springs and saw the historic race track. Then we drove along the western shore to the Sagamore Resort and walked the beautiful grounds along the lake. Today we took a boat ride to the north part of the lake. The lake nestled among the Adirondack mountains is absolutely beautiful. We were surprised, however, at how cold and drizzly it has been here in June.Leggi altro

    Ministers Island

    11 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We drove across the bottom of the ocean floor at low tide to reach Ministers Island, the estate of Sir William Van Horne. It is only accessible at low tide and a strange feeling to know that the path will be covered by 20 feet of water when the tide comes in. The island houses his 50 room estate and the country's largest wooden barn. The weather turned blustery and chilly while we were there so we ate our picnic lunch in the car! Tonight we had heavy rain.Leggi altro

    Fredericton New Brunswick

    12 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ 🌫 17 °C

    Today we traveled north to Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick. On one turn on the highway we suddenly faced a railroad underpass of 4 meters (13 ft.)! We came to screeching halt since we are a little taller. Some nice Canadian trucker stopped and told us that it actually was a little higher than posted and that we would fit underneath. Whew!
    After arriving we went on a walking tour of the historic city center.    Leggi altro

    Fredericton

    13 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ 🌫 23 °C

    We enjoyed relaxing this morning in our campground , Hartt Island Resort on the St. John River. It is a lovely site and we were surprised to discover that it contains a large palm tree lined pool and water park! Even though the palms are fake, it made us feel like home.
    We returned to town to visit Christ Church a beautiful cathedral built in 1845. Afterward we went across the river to eat lunch at Wolastoq Wharf , a seafood restaurant owned by native Americans. Delicious.    Leggi altro

    Acadia

    15 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    We spent the day at the Village Historique Acadien. It is a huge collection of historic homes and shops from earlier times. Each house and shop had a docent reenacting life as it was in the eighteenth century. They did a great job and gave us many samples of Acadian food to taste. Fun day and beautiful weather.Leggi altro

    Prince Edward Island

    17 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We drove south and crossed the Confederation Bridge to reach Prince Edward Island today. The drive across the island to our campground was spectacular with verdant rolling hills and lush farmlands. We saw many red sand potato fields that reminded us of Georgia and Alabama red clay. Tonight we visited Avonlea Village which consisted of antique buildings that are now shops and restaurants.Leggi altro

    Anne of Green Gables

    18 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We started our day by visiting the house and barn of Anne of Green Gables fame. It is now part of a National Park with lovely walking trails as well. Afterward we drove to the wharf at North Rustico for lunch at the Blue Mussel Cafe-- yummy seafood chowder and fresh halibut. After lunch we drove along the north shore which has also been preserved as a National Park with its beautiful red rock formations. Offshore were thousands of lobster pots and working lobster boats.Leggi altro

    North Shore/Ross Family Ceilidh

    19 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Today we first drove to Brackley Beach where we saw various local artists' works. After a nice lunch in the studio cafe and gardens, we drove along another area of the north shore which is also part of the National Park system. We found wide sandy beaches with surprisingly warm water pools. Tonight we had quite a treat. We went to the Ross Family Ceilidh nearby and were amazed at their talent both in music and traditional step dancing. They put on quite a show!Leggi altro

    North Rustico Wharf

    20 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    We spent our final day on Prince Edward Island back at the wharf in North Rustico. (We had to have another taste of the delicious seafood chowder at the Blue Mussel Cafe!) We loved seeing the lobstermen on the wharf bringing in their huge catch for the day. Tonight we had a group dinner at the Fisherman's Wharf--more lobster!Leggi altro

    Cabot Trail/Chiticamp

    22 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Yesterday we drove seven hours in solid rain to get to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. We are staying in Baddeck on the Bras d' Or Lake.
    Today we drove up the west side of the Cabot Trail to the fishing village of Chiticamp. It was still raining and cold and the wind was gale force at over forty knots. The waves on the coast were crashing on the rocks but the locals said this was a mild summer day!
    After we returned to Baddeck, we visited the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. He had an estate in Baddeck where he did much research and some of his inventions.    Leggi altro

    Stuck in the Mud

    24 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    We got early today to drive to Halifax. As soon as we tried to leave our site, we discovered that we were mired in mud and unable to move. After two hours of dumping gravel and wedging boards under the wheels, we realized that we needed help. We had to call a local tow truck to get us out! We were again delayed for a half hour for the swing bridge opening at the Canso Causeway while leaving the island. We finally arrived in Halifax late in the day and were exhausted.
    Hope tomorrow will be a better day!    Leggi altro

    Peggy's Cove

    25 giugno 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Beautiful sunny day!
    We drove to Peggy's Cove just outside of Halifax-- a quaint and picturesque fishing village. The terrain is very different with huge granite boulders lining the coast. We ate our best lobster roll of the trip at Tom's Lobster Shack alongside the harbor. Afterward we drove to the Halifax harbor and walked along the boardwalk.Leggi altro
