Mahone Bay: Our first stop was at Amos Pewter to watch them pour pewter (tin, bismuth and silver) into small necklace pendant molds. It cools as quickly as it is poured onto a hard surface. We even brought some home to finish on own.
The town is preparing for its annual Scarecrow Festival this coming weekend, so a number of the whimsical characters are already set up outside the businesses.
Lunenberg: Home of the Bluenose II (that we saw 3 times on this trip and will be home for the winter this coming weekend). The town is full of lovely heritage buildings and we enjoyed poking around the streets near the waterfront. A cruise ship was docked in the harbour.
On our way back to the campground in Hubbards we saw a sign for a Swiss Air 111 (1998) memorial nearby so we followed the signs to Bayswater Beach just south of Hubbards. We found it and were surprised to see that it is actually the site where the remains of the 229 folks from Flight 111 and a memorial wall are placed.
