Day 3 - Halifax to Bridgewater, Nova Scotia - Peggy's Cove selfie

            Beauty and sorrow and joy.  On this leg of journey, we visited Peggy's Cove, the two Swiss Air Fight 111 memorials, and the town of Lunenburg on our way to our hotel in Bridgewater. Beauty from the stunning landscapes, seascapes, and villages. Sorrow, from the memorials for the tragic Swiss Air Flight 111. Joy from a surprise in Lunenburg, where we unexpectedly got to see the Picton Castle, a tall ship that is based there. Larry and I had been enthralled with a television series many years ago that followed the Picton Castle on one of its voyages, and we knew then that at heart we were both travellers, and wanted to travel as much as we were able. The Swiss Air disaster is a sobering reminder to some of the dangers of travel.  But it doesn't fill us with fear, just more determination to travel, because that is the risk travellers have aways taken from time immemorial.  We travel in honour of the travellers before us, to experience the beauty and joy that they did.
