July 20, 2015. Western Head, N.S. Beautiful Nova Scotia.

I have always wondered why people don't visit Nova Scotia.  It is beautiful here.   Most Canadians have never vacationed in Nova Scotia and most American don't even know where it is.   But it is a beautiful part of the world.   Of course, one of the charms of Nova Scotia is the lack of people so we can visit a beach and be by ourselves.  And the traffic is sparse.   If hordes of people arrive for their vacation we would no longer have the roads to ourselves.  Right now the Canadian dollar is down so I am surprised that Americans are not streaming into the province for their vacations.   You get to spend $120. of Canadian dollars to spend for every $100. of American so it is a good deal.

In the years at work when folks were given the offer to stay in our house by the shore, very few people took advantage of the opportunity and I never understood why.   Perhaps they did not wish to impose.  But perhaps it is the same reason why people don't visit to Nova Scotia.  It seems foreign and it seems to be a long way away, so folks stay away.

In addition to the charming scenery, the Nova Scotians are delightful too.  They are polite and energetic and competent.    And in the summer, the temperature does not get over 80 degrees, with always a cool breeze coming from the sea.  Nova Scotia is a beautiful place and we are fortunate to be living here for the summers.
