July - August 2019
When in Canada, we always seem to wind up at locks of some type. This time is was the Saint Peter's Canal National Historic Site. We got to see a few boats go through and had an opportunity to talk to the 2 lock operators. For those keeping score, we were now in the Gaelic region. It's amazing to see that it is still commonly spoken. That's appropriate since we spent the remainder of the morning at the Highland Village, a museum that depicts the Gaels' migration to Nova Scotia from Scotland. We luckily were there on a day that they were having a festival, which meant their animators (re-enactors who stay in character) were doing even more than usual. We even took a class on speaking Gaelic. We'll need about 100 more classes before we're fluent!
