Lunenburg

Did I mention the lobster was Delicious? We each had a 2 pounder. Yummmm!
Wednesday we decided we should walk downtown to check out the shops and to work off the lobster from the previous night. Lunenburg was settled in 1753 by the British. The plans for the city were drawn up in Jolly Old England and brought to the site that was to be the town. What they did not take into account was that the area is not flat. Due to the shortsightedness of the English we were forced to stop along the way and recharge our batteries to complete our walk!

At one point Donnie had to take a rest.

Still full, we resisted the temptation of Large Marge's Diner.

We walked past Camp Norway which was set up in 1940 to house Norwegian sailors who couldn't return home because of the Nazi occupation.

We strolled the streets.

And headed to the waterfront.

We checked out the Fisherman's Memorial which was designed by a close friend of Donnie & Marilyn's and contains the names of all the men and ships that have sailed from Lunenburg and have not returned.

I may have forgotten to mention that Donnie & Marilyn live directly across the harbor from downtown and can keep an eye on all the activity in the port. While there my favorite spot was sitting on a chair looking out at the harbor. Beautiful!

The view from their house.

Lunenburg is rich in history beyond what I can describe. Check it out at http://www.explorelunenburg.ca/
