Sydney & Charlottetown

10.19.2014

Saturday, we were in Sydney, Nova Scotia.  It was a dreary day, lots of fog and rain.  Wind as well.  We were looking for two specific shops that we remembered from five years ago and neither is still open.  In fact, there were a lot of empty buildings, a sad thing.

Ah, finally a day with no rain.  The sun was out in short spells.  We went to church in a beautiful Basilica in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.  The home of Anne of Green Gables.  After Mass, we walked the town and watched the end of a marathon and half-marathon.  The homes are in nice shape, many of them old Victorians.  Many of the shops were closed, but we were able to visit a few.  This is a vibrant, alive town, different in that way from Sydney.

Tomorrow is an at sea day.  Then we will have a full day and night in Quebec City before leaving for home.
