| Alexander Graham Bell Museum |
True to our plan we slept in late this morning. We finished most of our coffee before venturing out. We wanted to visit the Alexander Graham Bell Museum and the birthplace of Canadian aviation.
We had seen the museum during other drives around Baddeck. We had no idea that the aviation museum was part of the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. From history we knew that Bell was a great inventor, foremost of which was the invention of the telephone. We knew nothing of his connection with Nova Scotia or his activities in the field of teaching the deaf to speak, his interest in manned flight or his experiments with hydrofoil type water craft.

After the museum we had lunch at the Kissing Cod Fish Market. We had lobster and crab rolls. We also bought some smoked salmon and mackerel. After eating our sandwiches we found a cache about 100' away.

We went back to the RV park and read and and had dinner in our coach. At 7 we gathered up and went to a Ceilidh, a gathering. We were entertained by a fiddle player and a piano player doing local style music. Some of our group joined in the square dancing.
The Ceilidh was over at 9:30. We returned to the coach and read for awhile before retiring. This was the first day here that Gerri didn't need her new mud shoes. The sun was out for the whole day, a welcome relief from all the rain.
We travel to North Sydney in the morning. Not a hard trip, only about 32 miles.
