| Very busy with tourists, but a colorful little seacoast town. |
 |
| Being here really reminded us of St. John's Newfoundland. No fear of use of color on the buildings. All are very old, but look to be very well maintained. Nice variety of architecture as well. |
 |
| It was impossible to get a great picture of the Harbor/Wharf buildings because there were just too darned many big ships in the way, but I tried. |
 |
| This is really what brought us here. Fred had read about the Dory builder and we managed to track down where they are hand made. Spoke to the guy who builds them. Very interesting to hear the details and it's all done in this and one other little wooden shack on the water. |
 |
| This is the builder and if you look on the work bench you can see the reproduction he is making of the piece in his hand. |
 |
| This monument gives you a sense of how dangerous being a Fisherman can be. All these monuments list sailors that died when ships went down. Very moving. |
 |
| We had hoped to catch the Bluenose here, but unfortunately it was away. This is it's home port. |
