 | Ingonish has a great beach    |  | |
 |  | ||
 |  on October 15, 2006 |
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing walk on Ingonish beach, it is pretty quiet here with no mass crowds of sunbathers, just the sea, sand and each other for company. The beach has fine white powdery sand a perfect carpet to walk upon. We did meet other walkers here, but not many, we were greeted by a cheery hello from the Canadian's and a Hi from the Americans. Beaches and the sea have a special place in my heart and Nova Scotia beaches hold fast in my heart. |

| Sherbrooke Village | | |
| | ||
 |  on December 3, 2004 |
A national historic park and museum, Sherbrooke Village is a living history museum that reflects life from 1869 to the early 19th century in Nova Scotia. There are 25 of the 80 buildings open to the public and there are weekend events, family days, concerts and demonstrations. The village is seasonal from June 1 to October 15 but is open for a special event at Christmas. They have various price ranges. The village is a bit out of the way but well worth a visit, combined with a visit to Cape breton which is very near. Take Highway 107 from Dartmouth (Opposite side of the harbour from Halifax) to the Number 7 highway. Alternatively, the Trans Canada 104 , taking exit 26 to route 347 and pick up the 7. You can also get onto highway 7 at exit 32 of the 104 at Antigonish. |

My wife and I stayed here on our last trip and loved it. Great chef, and accomodations. Allow yourself twice the travel time as it looks on the map. One caution: Not handicapped accessable. |

| Bear River | | |
| | ||
| on July 23, 2005 |
A small community near Digby and Annapolis Royal, Bear River is an old settlement, founded after the American Revolution by the Loyalists. The area had been settled previous to this by the First Nation Mi'kMaq and the French. It has evolved into a small community filled with artists and craftspeople and you can purchase their wares in local shops. The area is very pretty and well worth a side trip. There's a visitor center in a little Dutch windmill on the riverfront, a First Nation heritage center nearby, a heritage museum in the village and an Ethnographic museum featuring a private collection of folk costumes. |

| Museum of Computers, Annapolis Royal | | |
| | ||
| on June 11, 2005 |
There is a small, one room museum attached to a retail shop on St. George Street in Annapolis Royal that features a brief history of personal computers, video games and robots. we really enjoyed seeing the old PC's and portable computers and gaming machines. You'll probably recognize them too if you've worked with desktop computers for 10 years or more and wonder how you ever managed! Vintage computers from teh 70's to mid 80's including the first desktop computer, the Kenbak-1! There were only 40 Kenback's made from 1971 to 73 and sold mainly to schools. There is quite a bit of information on this computer on the museum website, very interesting reading. 302 St. George Street No admission, donations welcome. |

This tip is about Sherbrooke village in Nova Scotia. It is a couple of hours away from Halifax. You can't miss it when you drive along the east coast to the north (route 7). Sherbrooke village is a living museum with restaured buildings. In each building there is someone in period costume that will tell you a bit more about how live was in this little town in the late-1800's. It was quite fun to walk around in this village and take a look in all the old shops, the black-smith, post office, school, etc. Opening hours: June 1st - October 15th: daily 9:30 am - 5:30 pm Admission for 2005-2006 Adult - $9.00 Child - $3.75 Family - $25.00 Senior - $7.25 You can read much more about this destination on my Sherbrooke page |
