We had rain again in Nova Scotia, although it was not as torrential as yesterday.  It rained off and on and was hazy and cloudy all day, but we did get to see some great sites on the Cabot Trail.  Unfortunately because of the fog, we didn't get very good pictures. 
 
We saw some great sites from the tops of the mountains, the rocky coast line, and amazing forests of trees.  We even did a little hike through the forest.
 
The best part of the day was a whale watching tour we did in the afternoon.  We just caught a boat that was leaving.  The "Golden Girls" were on board and as we took off into the crisp air one of them said, "oh good, hot flashes be gone."  It was pretty funny.  We saw a lot of pilot whales.  There were about 20 swimming around and they got pretty close to the boat Cabot Trail

 .  It was raining a bit and cold, but we both loved it!  We also saw a bald eagle.

Tonight we stayed in the worst hotel ever.  We had to boil water before using it.  It was very cold, but I didn't want the blankets touching me.  Nice view of the beach though.
 
We are back on schedule and headed to PEI tomorrow.
