Well, as promised, we made it to Nova Scotia, but our ferry ride was only a little over an hour (not three hours as previously reported). I got to get out of the truck to meet some of the crew - they were really nice and thought I was a good looking little girl! This ferry was really different - when we started to load, the floor of the deck opened up and the cars went down into the bottom. When they tried to close the floor, the "door" got stuck, and it took the crew quite a while to get it to go down where it was supposed to be so we could drive on. Also, the front and the back of the ferry opened up like a big mouth to let the vehicles in and out (on the other end). We didn't have to go "down below" because we were classified with the BIG trucks, so we were on the second deck. We were one of the first RVs to load, so that means we were one of the first RVs to unload. Nova Scotia is very GREEN, just like the rest of the Maritime Provinces - must be all the rain they get. Yes, it is raining AGAIN, but it's just misty, not real rain drops. We found a nice little RV camp in the city of Antigonish, and will be moving on tomorrow closer to the park. The park we are going to is supposed to look like the Scottish Highlands - not that we really know what they look like!
Mom and Dad are trying to find me a Canadian Provincial Sticker Map, but they are hard to find - when we find one (if we do) we will add that picture to the USA Sticker Map.

| This crossing was a little rougher than the other ones - notice the horizon is straight, but the ferry is listing to the left! (Mom made it just fine.) |
