Well yesterday was sort of disappointing. I went to Truro hoping to see a bit of the Bay of Fundy. It's where you can normally see the tidal bore (a big tide wave that comes into the river) I knew I would miss that because of the timing ( it happens twice a day) but I thought it would still be cool to see the banks of the bay and see how large the tides got. Well I was too far from the bay and only saw the river leading to the bay. I couldn't walk any further because I had already walked an hour with my somewhat heavy backpack on and my feet were killing me.
So I walked back into he town of Truro only to have it start raining on me! I found some shelter in a shopping mall for awhile before heading back. The town itself was okay. I thought it'd be a little more quaint. There was a cool fair trade coffee shop and some fun wooden statues scattered throughout. The town also had parts of the Berlin wall which was a bit random but cool I guess. Besides for that I felt like I couldve been in any New England town despite the occasional Canadian flag.
Anyway at least I got lots of exercise in preparation for all the hiking I'll be doing during my expedition. I'm meeting my group later today but I'm going to explore Halifax a bit today before I do. I'm excited to meet everyone after emailing them for months. Next time I post it'll be 'Live from the Field!'
