Day 6: Lunenburgh!

Today was by far the most beautiful day we have had! And we spent it the best way possible - in Lunenburgh, Nova Scotia!!! The small town is absolutely gorgeous with its little cafes, art galleries and gift shops. The building are adorable and all different colors. The day started with breakfast and then a drive over to Lunenburgh. To get to the town from Cherry Hill you have to cross the Lahauve River, we got to drive our van onto a ferry where we able to get out and look around before getting back on and continuing to Lunenburgh. Once we got there we had two hours out on our own before we met up for lunch. So we did the typical tourist thing and took pictures and fawned over all the little shops. Then after lunch in a picnic area by the ocean and playing in the playground, we went on our Fisheries of the Atlantic Tour. It was really interesting and I even got to hold a lobster. We then explored the museum on our own for an hour, after we got one more hour in the town. George showed us a a cute little coffee shop and then we headed home. After a delicious dinner, we plugged in the power point projector and watch Sahara. Tomorrow we are going to a national park and that will be extremely pretty too! This is a fraction of the pictures I took today.

Here are a few of the houses and shops in Lunenburgh, these were literally fluorescent green, orange and pink.
This is a really old wooden church called St. John that has been burnt down and renovated.Shana (right) and Brittney (left) messing around in the playground.

These are measuring lines for the lengths of whales brought into Nova Scotia.
Here is the jaw of a huge whale.
Brittney, Kelsie and I caught in a lobster trap.
This was one of the railways to the boats we toured,
There were a lot seagulls nearby that would fly really low next to the restaurants.

This is the logo of the museum.

It was a really great day and I can not wait for tomorrow :)
