While waiting for the long weekend to end so we can go to Newfoundland, we decided to take a day trip to Fort Louisberg.
Started out foggy but soon cleared up. We had a good time touring the fort and had a nice lunch of mussels, bread and cheese in a recreated old town inn complete with old fashion dishes.
Nova Scotia is stuffed with history and we have spent the week touring the historical places like where Marconi sent the first telegraph message to England. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marconi_National_Historic_Site_of_Canada and Miners Museum about the coal mining history of Cape Breton.
