Annapolis Royal

Annapolis Royal is the oldest/first settlement/town in Canada. It is rich with history- a lot of history that is not taught in school.
Last night we had supper at a funky little restaurant called the Crow's Nest. Everyone was double and triple parked. I was concerned that we had blocked someone in but it was fine. We sat at a table looking out to the parking lot, so part of our entertainment was watching to see how this problem was dealt with. It was all pretty calm and noone was blocked in for long.
After supper we took a stroll along the shore and the sunset was quite spectacular.
Our B&B served us a very good breakfast. The fluffiest omelettes ever.
After breakfast we toured the shopping area. Surprise- even though this is a tourist town, many of the shops are closed Sunday and Monday. However, we did find a few that were open. The most interesting one was an antique shop that has Tibetan antiques, acquired in Nepal. The collector was having fun showing us singing bowls, bells, gongs, etc. used for meditation. I commented on how one large gong with a very loud low chime was all consuming. He responded with, "Yup, it opens all the chakras". I would have liked to have purchased something but oof it was expensive.Læs mere
