Well, today we decided to explore Tatamagouche on the bikes. The Great Canadian Trail aka “The Great Trail” has a section that runs through Tatamagouche.
We picked up the trail besides the farmers market. Of course, only after shopping at the market which is located in the Creamery Square area. We also checked out the shops in the grain elevator village. Interesting part of the geography, a grain elevator here in Nova Scotia. When I think of a silhouette of a grain elevator, I think of the vastness of the open Saskatchewan landscape. I have always wanted to see the inside of a grain elevator, so to go shopping in it was so much fun. Good to see the community has found a great use for it.
The trail has many great views of the bay, as we stopped along the way at the Patterson’s wharf area to enjoy the view. Our goal today was to checkout the Taco Gringo Food Truck. The place was packed! We stood in line for a while, and luckily for us, they stopped serving just after us. (Whew!) They had ran out of food so took a break to stock up.
We enjoyed the fish tacos and the beef taco and they were actually more like a burrito; the most important thing was that they were simply amazing. We also enjoyed the ambiance of the colorful patio area and would actually love to come back, but unfortunately it was our first and last experience with Taco Gringo as they were closing up shop and selling the business. Not all good things last for ever.
Speaking of good things, our day would not be complete with out a local beer at the brewery. Already our favorite watering hole (and not because it is the only one).
