Tidal Bore

We left our cottage on the bay and stopped at a gas station/store for our coffee/hot chocolate.
The owner had seen a coyote roaming her parking lot this morning. A black bear was sited close to where we slept last night and we had a window OPEN! We saw a fox yesterday-a road kill. We had an eye-opener about Canadians health care as we talked to the owner and several locals. First of all-we are paying, like all residents 13% sales tax (AND that is only everything) to help pay for their health care. In this rural village the one doctor comes on Monday and half a day on Friday. If they are sick most of the time they can't get in to see him because there are lines of others waiting . They could go to a clinic next but there are usually more people there. If they thought that they were having a heart attack and couldn't get into the doctor, they could call 911. 911 would decide if they really needed to go to the hospital. They pay 30% of their medications until a certain amt. is paid and then the govert. pays the rest. I'm only repeating what they were saying. They did not like the health care they had. After our visit, the owner said, "Your drinks are on the house".
Since we hadn't had our breakfast we stopped at the Double D Truck Stop. Our odds were great there 13/us!!. Our food was great like most truck stop food.
We drove to Truro and got us a room at the Pallisers. We stayed here 7 yrs. ago. Next to the motel you can see and hear the tidal bore. The tidal bore (water coming in after a low tide)
comes from the Bay of Fundy which is oval shaped. The water comes from the bay into the rivers. The rivers water is flowing out, tide coming in. When the waters collide the tidal bore sounds like a train and huge waves form. We wanted to ride these waves (we did this 7 yrs ago also). We drove to the Tidal Bore Rafting place to see when we needed to be there tomorrow.
We wear old clothes we brought and then their wet suits/shoes.
Tonight the bore is coming in by our motel at 11:30. Everyone will go out around 11:05 and wait for it. Tomorrow after a great breakfast (included) we will head down to take our ride. WE CAN'T WAIT!!!
