The best thing about having a friend come to visit is that I have an excuse to plan a road trip to the places in NS that I haven't been yet. So with Cathy around for the week we decided to tour the southwest corner for the May long weekend.
I booked off early from work on the Friday so we could get to Peggy's Cove for the afternoon. It was my third trip there but every time it is different. This time it was full-on fog and windy rain that greeted us on the rocky shore. I was almost disappointed until Cathy's unwavering enthusiasm made the dreary afternoon a funtastic - if totally chilly - event. One of the challenges for the trip was to find a cheesy gift for her man back home. She settled on the lobster salt&pepper set that she is lovingly displaying in the pic above.
In the end, the fog, wind, and grey skies made for a dramatic tour of the famous town. It also helped to keep other visitors to a minimum allowing for some prime photo opportunities. They may not be postcard perfect but they are a true reflection of a Nova Scotian spring!
