An Overcast and Rainy Day For Museums
Unlike the gorgeous Wednesday in Lunenburg, Thursday promised – and delivered – a wet and overcast day. Perfect weather for visiting museums! We met up with my Mom, who also loves museums and is largely responsible for my love of them, and visited the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Much like the art gallery on…

A Day Trip To Lunenburg (cont’d)
Once we finished our exploration of the town itself, we headed down to the waterfront. Lunenburg is, afterall, defined by the ocean and by the fishing industry specifically.

And once again, while I didn’t find anything to add to my reading pile, Kathleen did. It didn’t escape our notice that, where book shopping is concerned, we switched roles from our May…
