May 31 Peggy's Cove

This morning we were reminded we are 4 hours later than Langley; we wanted to watch the live feed today; so we decided to drive a little over an hour back to Peggy's Cove. Caroline was checking the webcams and it looked like it was more clear today than yesterday so we headed out. It's such a beautiful coastline here in Nova Scotia, lots of hidden bays and villages, lots of photo opportunities. The weather on Hwy 103 was sunny and +20 degrees, but soon changed as we turned on the smaller road to Peggy's Cove. As we got closer and closer to the point (don't forget this point is very open to the Atlantic, they always get hit first with any type of weather coming off the ocean) we realized it can sock in very quickly. The sun was poking through as we got to lighthouse point. Got down to about 8 degrees so we donned our wind breakers and strolled around the bare wind swept rocks. As we drove around we found some nice little sheltered bays for some more pics. I can see this place would be a real busy place in July-September; even today the parking lot was fairly full. We headed back to our camp site to watch the live feed from LCRC; as we were getting closer to 1:30 the wifi from the park was simply not working; some parks are good but many seem to have older equipment. I would recommend to anyone in the future that if you're planning a long trip to get a satellite. We shifted to a private individuals unsecured wifi and got a good signal. It was good to hear about Christ's promises to all those who believe in Him and that He is the bread of life as shown in John 6; and especially that He will always satisfy us, that he will never drive us out of His Kingdom, as well He will never allow us to be lost. Amen! It was good to see our home congregation worship with us.
The weather changed as predicted, we've had rain for the last hour and the forecast looks better tomorrow and as the week goes on. A more quiet day but that's ok. A restful day and we'll be right back at it as we head North East tomorrow. Cheers

 the seas were fairly calm but winds were cold and in around the 30KPH range

 Nice!

 this was kinda cool; a local artist carved this out of the rock in the hillside

 this is the memorial made to commemorate the victims of the Swissair 111 disaster in 1998. Many of the locals helps in the recovery of this plane disaster

 Nice!
