Fort Anne was built to protect the harbor of Annapolis Royal from the French in the 1700s. We visited the historic site and learned about the lives of the indigenous peoples, English, and French during that time.
We stayed in a Digby campground which bordered a walking path which was formerly a train track. We walked into town, visited the harbor and had the famous Digby scallops.
The next day we drove down the narrow Digby Neck which has the Bay of Fundy on One side and St. Mary's Bay on the other. The land narrows and ferries take you to adjacent small islands. We took the first ferry to Long Island. There we met Paul, a wonderful young man traveling on his motorcycle. We met on the path to the Standing Rock and we got a nice shot of him standing next to it!
After the return trip on the ferry we stayed overnight in Sandy Cove - we found a beautiful sandy beach with amazing views. Another sunset night.
The next day we drove back to Digby, exploring along the way.
