Well I made it to Halifax. Nelda just about had her car towed as she didn't take the NO PARKING sign seriously when she came to pick me up! They don't like unattended vehicles parked at airports perhaps because of bomb threats? Nelda is fairly harmless and her smile charmed the security guy. We drove the scenic route south to Halifax then more south (Antigonish is north) along the eastern coast on a very twisty turney road. Beautiful countryside. Saskatchewan aspens have leafed out and here I estimate they are behind perhaps 2 weeks.Stopped in Halifax at Pete's Fruitique and had lunch and free fruit samples from Nelda's son who works there. Spent the night at one of Nelda's friends then headed up to Antigonish this morning. Nelda had a client this afternoon so I borrowed her car and drove to a nearby stable. I groomed a dirty horse and hung out for a couple hours. Didn't take a ride as they were busy and mostly English hunter jumper. Their horses were blanketed as the show season starts soon.
Spent some time in down town Antigonish. Lots of charming little shops and Xavier University. Enjoying the slow pace.
