Beautiful Sunny Day to Digby

After an included breakfast we left Windsor on a gorgeous day. We went up to Blomidon Park way up on a finger in the Bay of Fundy. We went through a beautiful valley. The farmlands were abundant with healthy crops such as corn, brocolli, apple, pumpkin, apple, plum, various kinds of berries ready to be picked and shipped to market. There were a lot of roadside stands with produce. We stopped to check them out and ended up buying some neat looking gordas. Where we'll put them on the way, no one knows. The tide was out so we saw large fishing boats sitting in the marina with not a drop of water under them. When we finally got to the park it was closed. It seems almost everything closes on Sept 30th up here. This includes restaurants, motels, and shops of all kind. Very few places stay open yr. round. We walked down to the beach, remember the tide was low, so we had a lot of ground to walk on. We took some pictures and then headed back to the car. We looked for trails but couldn't find any. We got our muffins and drinks and sat on a table in the sun.
We arrived in Digby, the scallop capital of N.S. and went directly to the ferry terminal. We wanted to pay our $150 dollars for our car and the 2 of us. They wouldn't let us so we'll have to get up early (5:45)tomorrow to go pay. We checked in our room on main (only) street. We were actually in a room over the restaurant on the wharf.
We had eaten in the restaurant 2 1/2 weeks ago where we had the delicious pan-friend haddock and wanted to get it again. We unpacked only the essentials for the night and took the rest of the stuff back to to car. Since there would be no restaurant open (nothing opens here before 10)we b;ought some muffins for bkft. (Have to go and get in the car-the boat is docking) more later
