Beautiful photos from your travels! The next time you head to the Maritimes (Eastern Canada – Nova Scotia, PEI), try to stop by New Brunswick as it also has some intersting sites to see.
Thank you! We will keep it mind. We did drive through New Brunswick and actually stopped by Magnetic Hill and the Magnetic Hill Winery.
We had the opportunity to visit beautiful Nova Scotia. Yes, we have shared many beautiful destinations at our business website. Nancy and I also traveled from the centrally located Digby Neck, Nova Scotia.
