Day 1 - Nova Scotia

Baddeck NS was our destination today.  We had made reservations at a B & B for tonight. On the way we stopped and did some wine tasting at the Jost winery, the oldest and largest winery in Nova Scotia. It was a great way to start our day, with a before 10am tasting and some purchases.

When we arrived in Baddeck, we spent some time touring the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. Baddeck was his summer home and a location from which he conducted many experiments in flight, hydrofoiles, kites, and a variety of other things. He was interested in many things beyond the telephone and this location was a favorite of his family's.

an inland sea where Baddeck sits. Please notice the sun is shining and it's a little warm.

a really late spring (as are many places) and the daffodils are at their peak.

This is the Kidston Island light house that sits right across from the waterfront in Baddeck.
You can see it just over my shoulder in the picture above.
