    This morning we got up and went straight to the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site. This was another must see for our trip. Turns out AGB didn't just invent the phone.

His residence was a self-sufficient sustainable farm creating employment for the area. His big accomplishment after the phone was being involved in the development of the plane used for the first flight in Canada.
