No we didn't turn around and head back to Atlanta, we are just on the other side of the Bay of Fundy. The day started cool and foggy and turned into perfect biking weather. The air was cool with breezes off the bay, the terrain was mostly flat, and there was hardly any traffic. In fact the whole day was rather silent. The landscape was soft with marshes rolling into the ocean and laundry on clotheslines blowing dry. The houses were all so old, kind of Victorian style and weathered gray - except for every 5th house that was painted a bright yellow, pink, or aqua. If we saw someone, it was a random child saying hi or a very old man mowing his lawn; other than that, the cute countryside seemed abandoned.
All the signs in kilometers make us feel like we are making much better time. They were also in French because it turns out that the southern part of Nova Scotia speaks primarily French, though everyone we encountered also speaks perfect English - both languages sounded like they were being spoken with a Scottish accent.
Even though we stopped to take lots of picture and scenery breaks, we still had our best biking day yet, stopping in Smith's Cove and excited to see what else Nova Scotia had in store for us.
Mileage: 60.7 miles (what's that in kilometers?)
