Halifax NS Day 15 Oct 1

Well, I stand corrected. It does not continuously rain in Nova Scotia. Or yesterday was the exception. I believe the direct Nordic translation of Nova Scotia is Noah Arkia. We were headed from the most terrible camp ground in the world or at least the Northern Hemisphere to a KOA in Halifax. And what a difference it is. This is really a nice place with attractive sites and friendly, helpful staff. Of course, they have WiFi here. Every time I talk of WiFi , Faye thinks I am talking to her. I guess its close, WiFi, Wifey. Dirk thought he would return the hospitality by fixing the Wifey. He had determined through Hocus Pocus that the repeater station closest to our site was not working. Within minutes of letting them know, a sprightly 70 year old roared up in his golf cart to look at the problem. ( it seems that only 70 year olds are allowed to drive golf carts at KOA locations). ( see day 8). Dirk and the sprightly 70 year old swopped techno talk for a while and then he roared off again, cape flying in the air. The drive here was uneventful and uninteresting. Had we done some research(thanks to Pam Brown for the lead), we would have found that we were passing Lunenburg, home of Bluenose II schooner that had just been re-launched ( original in 1963 ) The schooner is found on the Canadian dime and achieved this status by beating those dreaded Americans at sea. Hockey and sailing. This is too much!.
