Lockeport NS Day 14 Sept 30



And it rained and it rained. Today was supposed to be a scenic drive down the coast . We did manage to see a delightful church complete with its parishioners. Yes we arrived just as the Sunday morning service was about to start and caused some consternation as we maneuvered the white behemoths in the parking lot all the while dodging the incoming faithful. But everyone was very nice, if not curious. This church, St Bernard (named after the famous Swiss dog with the barrel under his chin - this however has not been confirmed ) took 32 years to build. I don't have an explanation for this impressive productivity, but as soon as I can access the Internet I will do some research. Which leads me to comment on the campsite we occupied last night, quite clearly the worst we have encountered. No WiFi, uneven sites, rundown buildings. Nova Scotia is clearly not the wealthiest of the Canadian Provinces but a little paint is surely not beyond the reach of management. To complete the day of "uglies", we visited a lighthouse that Colleen and Faye designated as the most unattractive we have seen. I am not sure what exactly constitutes an attractive lighthouse ( t think they all have a light ? ) but I'll go along with it. It was that type of day.
