Rain is gone and today was a beautiful day to be outside so we spent it at Peggy's Cove. This is one of the biggest tourist places in Nova Scotia, and there are only 29 full-time residents in this tiny fishing village.They can have from 2,000-4,000 visitors a day during the warm months, all who want to take in the beauty of this incredible place.  We went on a boat tour, and it was a perfect day to be out on the water. Unfortunately, the other thing it is known for is the 1998 crash of a Swiss Air flight in which over 200 people were killed.  It is a breathtakingly beautiful spot and one of the most photographed.

We had to try Nova Scotia lobster

As a result of the ending of the ice age, massive boulders that had been suspended in the glaciers fell to the ground as the ice melted and they remain here to this day.  They are called "erratics" and are all around this cove.
