Wind power

When we got up this morning we knew it was a perfect day to go on a bike excursion. After a nice brunch at Around the Bend (Dave, Luc and I) and many suggestions, we decided on the beautiful acadian village of Pubnico-Ouest (Yarmouth County). Dave and I are no strangers to this community but we've never went on our bikes. We parked the car at the elementary school and rode 10 km to the Pubnico Point Wind Farm. There are 17 wind turbines on this site - very impressive.

After a few pictures, rehydration and a power bar we headed back on our 10 km return. We made a few stops on our way back. We had our lunch in the Saint Michel's Church cemetery. For those that don't know.... I love visiting cemeteries. I've visited almost every cemetery in South West Nova Scotia.

Then off we go again. This time we stopped at the Musée acadien. We wanted to visit the Potager acadien (acadian garden).



And so that was our bike excursion for this weekend. Tomorrow we are hoping for fair weather so we can go to the beach and get a few more buckets of seaweed for the gardens.
