Happy Canada day!

It was a day of firsts - our first hike into Keji national park, our first hills, our first miles on an interstate, our first rain (about 1/10,000th as much as I got sunday), our first non-foggy sunrise, first traffic light in 3 days, our first cable ferry - which seemed to get further away as we got closer. Staying in Lunenberg, which is a typical touristy fishing town - nice restaurants, colorful buildings, and home to the Bluenose II, Canada's Old Ironsides. Ride got long today as we hiked and ate a late lunch, so only had done 20 miles of our planned route for the day by 2:30. Finished with 78.9 so it was a long afternoon. More civilization today along the route, and traffic increased to 1 car every 5 minutes (rather than once every 10) but still haven't seen any other touring cyclists. Spent about half the day inland, away from the water and on the hills. Onto Halifax tomorrow.
Late addendum - peculiar character of the day.  A used bookstore open at 10pm on Canada day, where the owner(?) with a British accent was practically buried in books.  Store a mess, but there are 3 bookstores in Lunenberg. Amazing.
