Yet another excellent day

Just when I thought it wouldn't get any better, we had another fabulous day. It involved a beach, of course, two magnificent churches and a light house. The two churches are within a just a few kilometers of each other. One is granite and took 32 years to build. The other is the largest wooden church in North America. It is HUGE. It is supported inside by 75 foot poles of red spruce (covered in plaster). Mavillette Beach is a gorgeous sand beach. The tide was going out and the sand seemed to stretch out forever. We lunched at Cape Forchu, a light house near Yarmouth. The views were spectacular. We are still in Digby tonight and once again had Digby scallops for dinner. They are just too good to pass up.

We leave Digby in the morning, heading to Lunenberg on the south shore. Tomorrow, July 1, is Canada Day. There will be fireworks and parades just as we will have in the States on Saturday. It should be fun!
