working on projects for my website clients, Peg and I got out of the "house" and headed into town this afternoon. We found an interesting Scottish Pub called the Bras d'Or Yacht Club. Apparently, this is the final weekend for tourist attractions to be open and the locals go out with a bang! It's called Celtic Colours, an International Music Festival around the Cape Breton area. Many music venues are open and some great entertainment is in and around this little fishing village near us. We decided to partake of some "spirits" and listen to some talented celtic musicians as they fiddled, strummed and drummed their way into the crowd's hearts.
It was then off to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. Bell lived a good part of his life here in this little village and was know for his experimentation with the telephone, kites, hearing devices for the deaf and creating boats with hydrofoils. A very interesting place and very nicely done. We spent a while looking at all the different inventions as well as sat in on a movie about Bell's life.Upon leaving the museum, we noticed a lighthouse on a point across the
bay from us. It has been raining here all day so this picture is not backed by a clear blue sky, but the eerie look of the picture depicts the look of this day very well.Tomorrow we travel around the Cabot Trail (by car) and check out this famous route with its fabulous views. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate a bit better...
