A free day for the Chorus found a lot t of us boarding the bus for first a tour of Peggy’s Cove. I myself joined Sheila and Paul in the orange fury Mustang following the bus for a trip to the Cove.
Climbing the rocks brought back the memories for myself having traversed these same rocks back in 1975. Six years old back then and climbing what I recall rather fondly as the mountains up to the lighthouse.... I guess the ocean eroded the rocks since as the mountain was more like a decent sized hill.
Plenty of opportunities to pick up items from the gift store or enjoying an expresso.
Back the bus and after a short ride brought us to the Swissair Flight III memorial for the 229 men, women, and children that perished on that flight back on September 2, 1998. The chorus all huddled around the memorial sang Amazing Grace under the direction of Sheila Wallace. A very moving experience for all us remembering those that lost their lives.
The order sequence for the next couple of stops depends on whether you were on the bus or in the Mustang but we stopped next at Mahine Bay for some incredible pictures of the three churches in the area as well the nearby water.
Hopping back in we travelled to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for lunch and a ‘lemonade’ and thoroughly enjoyed a tour of the Fisheries Museum and the 110 foot Theresa E. Connor, a fishing clipper.
A wonderful sightseeing day!! So much fun!
