Donald,

I remembered another interesting story about our trip to NS, that seemed
so totally different than anything one would see in the US. In Sydney,
we pulled into the first "Marina" we saw, it had about 75' facing the
harbor, and a very tiny cove, with maybe 15 boats. A very small marina
from what I was used to. The "yacht club" reminded me of an old VFW
club, cinder blocks, good old boys sitting around drinking beer and
telling war stories around old broken down furniture and tables. The
waitress who served us the beer, a really great IPA, was very friendly.
We asked her where was a good place to eat, and she said nothing in
walking distance. They had a guy making burgers and hot dogs, but she
did not recommend them. The waitress said while there were no good
restaurants close, a pizza joint that would deliver a pizza and dialed
the pizza joint on her cell phone for us. I could n't believe the
waitress would allow us to order a pizza and eat it in their
restaurant/bar/yacht club, but who am I to challenge local customs.
When the pizza was delivered, the guy cooking the burgers went crazy.
He had been laid off from the steel mill (or the mill closed I can't
remember) and was scrapping by making burgers in the "club". We gave
him $10 so we could eat the pizza and he was happy. It seemed that
everyone in that little neck of the woods would come by to find out who
we were, where were going, and they all provided advice. I think
everyone's advice contradicted each other, but they loved to be able to
spend time chit chatting. I had the feeling the entire town was out of
work.

You Canadians can be very interesting, eh......
