Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is Latin for “New Scotland”. The province was named by Sir William Alexander who was given the land by King James VI of Scotland in 1621. Prior to its official naming, the First Nations knew it as “Mi’kma’ki”, the French called it “Acadia”, and the British were already familiar with calling the land “New Scotland”.

I hear you Mazy. Would love to go back...............Wendy

Mazy

Wendy I did the same on the company dime when I worked in NFLD. We didn't have a set per diem, were just expected to take it easy most of the time. Since my hotel room in Gander had a little kitchenette, I'd been very frugal so no one lifted a brow. That lobster dinner has me wanting to go back to the maritimes, for sure!

Suzy was right to visit it again for the nth time...i read it is a beautiful place to be.

A most excellent history you've provided, Pat.
This lovely beach was further south than we ventured on our recent trip. Guess we'll have to go back! :)

This is gorgeous!

Beautiful beach and info. Thanks. Marina

Gladstone

In 1975, three delegates from our school board
had the pleasure of visiting Nova Scotia for a CSTA convention
in Moncton. We were lucky to have our wives with us and rented
a car to tour Nova Scotia and PEI in a short three days.
Great memories. (Floyd)

What a great photo Pat. We were in Nova Scotia once, but it was a working trip and couldn't explore. But I said I wasn't leaving there until I had an Atlantic lobster dinner. My late husband's meals were paid by the company he was working for, and that was good, because my dinner was $32.00 and that was back in 2004, but worth every single penny.............Wendy
