The history buff in me loved this one!!! This is a recreation of the fortress outside of Sydney, N.S. The buildings are amazing, and all the people who work there are in costume, just waiting to talk to you about who they are and what role they played in this community. There were soldiers, fishermen, farmers, pigs, chickens, cannons....everything you can imagine!!
We went to the military demonstration where they fired off their muskets, and a cannon. It was soooo loud!! It was quite easy to imagine the chaos and frenzy that would be everywhere during a siege and battle.
Sean bought a soldier's ration of bread, but found it was so heavy and thick, he couldn't finish it!
Yet again, we have experienced another age of history, another segment of Canada's past, and have been immersed in another time and felt what it was like to be right there. Wow!
Hope you take the time to try cows ice cream commonly found in PEI but a few other spots in NS and Banff Yah Alberta - the easts version of MacKays. Guides started tonight and Robin said she's saving a spot for Rianna. Jen, Tayla, and Sasha all back Sasha is waiting on soccer sched. before she commits. I also loved the fort and took gobs of pics when we were there. Take care. Rose
