Maritimes, Part 7

As we traveled through Nova Scotia, our route took us through Cape Breton.  Cape Breton is actually an island, within Nova Scotia.  The land mass is separated by rivers and ocean bays from the mainland of Nova Scotia.  Our reason for traveling to Cape Breton was to visit the Alexander Graham Bell museum located in Baddeck, NS.  Bell was from Nova Scotia and was an inventor extraordinaire.  He had many inventions in aviation and built the first aircraft to experience powered flight in Canada.  He lived a relaxed life in Baddeck and consistently worked on his inventions.  The museum was well worth the visit.  Plus the route lead us through the center of Nova Scotia and the scenery was beautiful.

I found this video on YouTube that is a nice intro of the Baddeck area and Bell.

Maritimes, Part 1

Lee and I signed up for a Tracks to Adventure tour of the Canadian Maritimes.  As I looked at maps of the US, I always wondered of life in the far northeast.  Well, you can drive a car to the Canadian Maritimes to explore this foreign land.  That is exactly what we did.  We drove our motor home from Texas to the Canadian Maritimes, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador.  What a trip.
