July 2014 - Nova Scotia
Part two of our road trip through Nova Scotia (
Part one), featuring the picturesque Peggy's Cove, Halifax, and the south western coast. Perhaps the best part of the trip was stopping by one of the other 3 towns of Weymouth in the world. Two down, two to go!

Reminds me of the top of Mt. Washington, but it's right on the coast

A calm, peaceful lake - our last campsite. |
