I'm having trouble knowing what day it is...that's a good thing!

So it's been a few days and quite honestly, I am not sure where the time goes! But I will try to share some highlights. Wednesday we travel day and was dreary with rain and fog.   No worries, as we packed up camp and headed to the ferry from St John's, New Brunswick to Digby, Nova Scotia.  Before loading on the ferry, we stopped in the St John City Market and packed a fantastic picnic of Italian foods for our ferry ride.

 Dulce is seaweed and I am told you eat it like potato chips.  It didn't look especially appetizing and I understand it is an acquired taste!

Although the ferry crossing was only about 3 hours, it was rocky with the weather (for me) so we stayed on the top deck. The ferry is new and really nice with sofa seating, cafe/bars, and even a movie lounge with recliners!
  

We have been staying in a "wilderness" campground near Digby, Valleyview Provincial Park, and it is so peaceful and quiet.  
Our campsite is across from an amazing view of the Annapolis Valley.  Last night, the temps were really low and the light rain that passed over actually came down as wet snow! This morning, we awakened to a blanket of fog over the valley and then a few hours later, it cleared with a beautiful sunny day!

Today we visited several towns, lighthouses, and historic sites. When we were in Digby 40 years ago, we remembered a scallop festival and have been waiting all these years for Digby scallops, and they didn't disappoint! Here are a few pictures from today.

Tomorrow we are off to the Ketjimkujek National Park for some serious hiking and wilderness. Goodnight 💤
