Grand Pré

I should probably have stayed in all long weekend and studied but instead we went to "the valley" near the bay of Fundy and toured an Acadian museum there. Somehow it was magically peaceful there. I do not know why but everything seemed rather timeless and surreal.
I did not take pics but it actually looks like this scenic shot on this website http://www.grand-pre.com/grandpresitedevelopment/en/TheStory.html plus the site tells a bit about those Acadians.

We stopped into a shop called tangled garden which in fact had a rather amazing garden to wander through. But the best part was on the top of the hill which overlooked the water. There they had planted a huge honking maze out of flowers - the kids ran back and forth back and forth as they raced for the centre and then all around again as they raced back out.

If I was rich I'd have a garden like that. If I was a little rich I'd have bought some of their very neat looking jellies that included all sorts of flowers and herbs in them. They were almost more fun to look at than to actually use. Next time we will have to bring the camera.

you can see the jellies and the garden at their website - the maze is cool but even better looking at eye level when the flowers really stand out. http://www.tangledgarden.ns.ca/
