Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada

July 16
It is exciting to be back in North America.  We are nearing the end of this journey.  After Sydney, our last port before we disembark, is Boston.  Then on to New York where we catch a plane for home.  It is both sad and awaited.  It will be nice to get back home where things are more familiar and we can stop overeating,…. hopefully.
This is a nice little town.
                               
Notice that the electric lines are above ground and the streets are lovely, tree lined.
We decided to walk around town rather than take a tour.  It was almost 90 degrees, so it was very hot in the sun.  We had been wishing for a warm day, since we had just spent the entire trip wearing jackets.  But this was too hot.  Today is a sea day and the weather is about 66 degrees and I am typing on the balcony.  Yeah, the first time we have been able to use it since, for once, it is not windy.  I mention this right now because the forcast for our port day tomorrow in Boston is 92 degrees.  Not looking forward to that.
OK back to Sydney.  One of the first things we saw here was this car.  It took the owner 5 years to complete the “design”.  He can talk about it forever.
    
                                                            
I could not resist going to a yard sale and, since it is Saturday, a craft fair.
   they all look the same
This man is making rope knots.  And she is making woven embroidery.  Two crafts I have never seen before..
                
The town is known for its huge fiddle.  ? ? ? 
Yes, there are churches.  Just a couple of pics.
        
   this one had it’s tower hit by lightning and could not afford to rebuild it, so the short tower.
I’ve got a few more pics to post,
  Always knew he was a crab, but now I know he is a lobster.
                                           
Beautiful smooth sailing today, Sunday, but no whale or dolphin sightings….boo hoo.
