Every person you meet knows something you don’t; learn from them.

We woke up today to the most beautiful sunrise; Oh, how very beautiful! This is giving us the inspiration to get out and enjoy this beautiful day. Before we left for the day, we met a fisherman who stopped to buy some bait and he said that he had to get out fishing before the bad weather comes in. We never thought anything of his comment, the sky was blue and not a cloud to be seen for miles. So, we packed up the bikes and headed to the town of Truro; to bike another part of the “Great Trail”, The Cobequid Trail.
This trail offers some of the most amazing views of the Cobequid Bay. We picked up the trail at the Fundy Bay Tidal Bore viewing area (one of the areas that you can watch the Tidal Bore come in). Which to some people it is a way to marvel at the magnitude of nature and Tidal changes and to others it is just a bore. For the most part the trail hugs the bay, but it does pass by a few farmers fields. And a lot of Cow’s Parsnip!
We headed back down the trail and decided to take into town. Not as peaceful as the first half of the ride but there was a microbrewery at the end of the trail! And it was a hot day and we deserved a cool drink! The Salty Dog Brewery, this was the first time Steve had a chance to enjoy some of their beer. They had four fruit inspired beer on tap today; Blueberry, Strawberry, Rhubarb and Gose. Surprisingly enough the Rhubarb one, with its sugared rim, was very enjoyable! Now we did notice that there was a lot of dark clouds coming in – so time to head back. After we packed up the bikes, we sat on the bench and watched the storm that was a brewing come up the Cobequid Bay. As we were marveling and taking pictures of the storm from afar, we realized that the storm was probably directly over Debert where Winnie our RV was parked. Panic sunk in as we remembered that we left ALL the windows and the sun light vent open!!!! OH Boy! Now Jo’s dad managed to close the windows from the outside so not too much water came in that way. But we had over 4 inches of rain in a short period of time and yep it did, it all came through the open roof vent. What a mess! What a frenzy.
So, when you meet someone new, they might know something that you don’t; learn from them. If we had listened to that fisherman, we might have closed the windows and doors in the RV.
