Halifax, Day 2
2020 hindsight is wonderful! If we had known that the "From Cove to Bay: The Seaside Towns of Nova Scotia" would be two---yes, two only---towns in six hours and the other four hours would be driving, we would not have gone! The towns, Peggy's Cove and Mahone Bay are indeed very pretty. but four hours driving to see them?
We didn't do much in Peggy's Cove, we had been there before and it is a quintessential tourist town, quite pretty but not much to do but eat (we had had breakfast about two hours before) or shop for trinkets (and we only have two carryon bags!).

By the time we got to Mahone Bay we were hungry, so we had a great lunch at The Nosy Crow. Including a couple of local beers: Randy had the Nun on the Run, and I had the Dynamite Trail Ale (a hefeweizen, usually I have an IPA, but this was delicious!), both local to Mahone Bay.

| Mahone Bay is famous for its three churches. |

| The whole month of October all of Nova Scotia celebrates by putting my these characters all over town! |
And back to the ship. Not a memorable side trip!
And so on to a sea day followed by Boston, where we'll visit with Randy's cousin whom we haven't seen in many years, and then a trolley ride in Provincetown. After Provincetown we'll have to pack! I have no idea how we got this much stuff in two carryon bags!
