First the name was Fort Royale, named by the French when settlement began in 1604. But by the mid eighteenth century, the English came along and re-named it Annapolis Royal. In the past, it was an important commercial center, but now it is a charming, well kept town, catering mostly to tourists.
Today and tomorrow, the town of Annapolis Royal is holding an art show, called 'Paint The Town'. It was a clever idea. Fifty artists painted outside, all around the town. "Artist At Work" signs were posted, so as we walked around the town, we could stop and chat with the artist. The art work, when completed, was posted at the Legion and at 5:00, the silent action came to an end. Or, we could just purchase any piece of art at the price set by the artist, without regard to the silent auction. It was fun. And we purchased!!
The best seat in town for lunch was at Leo's. We sat outside under an umbrella and enjoyed our soup and half sandwich in the 72 degree heat. Clever idea, this 'Paint The Town'.
