Driving along Bay of Fundy

We left Annapolis Royal to go to a wilderness trailhead. We haad filled up with gas in Digby and were really glad abecause we hardly saw a station. They don't have them on every corner like we do. We paid $1.02 a liter. We were told by a aCanadian that was abouta $4.00 a gallon. (Sounds like last yr. doesn't it) We found Delap's Cove after driving down 2 mi. of very steep garvel road. We began our walk to the waterfall and cliffs. The trail went through an old growth forest going up, then down. In places we had to dodge the roots and others had to make our way through the rocks. During the walk Patty had a serious discussion with a Cana. about Health Care. We agreed to disagree. Nancy of course was aheqd of me (I take 2 steps to her one) and she's fast and I'm slow. After 20 mins., she came back to find me thinking I had fallen but only found me talking. The tide was low again (the tide's abeen low since we got to N.S.) so all the rocks are exposed with seaweed. We're hoping for a high tide so we can see the water crashing on the rocks. We then headed on #1 which runs along he Bay of Fundy. Because we were so high up, the leaves showed color. We drove on other roads that neither had names or numbers. We just hoped we were going the right way. We went up to Lookoff. We could see the beautiful valley abelow. The leaves had more color in the valley, various shades of green, orange, red, maroon. We drove through many "coves" each having about 10 homes. Saw healthy horses with their winter coats, but we saw hardly any people. Each little cove, village, town had their own cementry some with only 10-12 headstones. We had to stop on many of the roads because men were repairing the roads for winter. We saw many ornate churches, sometimes two next to each other. We saw one hanging off of a cliff. We joked about where the preacher stood--on the side on land. We found most Cana. people so gracious and willing to help. They stop when you walk up to a street to let you cross, same as in Maine. I know I drink too many diet cokes but I can't here. There are no free refills. Someplaces don't even have ice for your water. We're staying in Windsor, the birthplace of Hockey. We have seen more Canadians on vacation than people from the states. Won't have time to edit this so forgive me.
