Amazing Grace Smith - Day 45 - 25.4km
Leaving Little River I didn't realize that I would be passing Mike Smiths sisters' home on route 204 and also that I was so close to the home of Grace Smith (Mikes' mom). Anyway, cycled down after finally leaving Wayne and Nikki - and arrived at her place just before 1pm. Sun was once again shining.... and they were working the blueberry fields - harvesting them with an interesting piece of machinery. I had no idea that there were differences between high blueberry bushes and low blueberry bushes. Anyway, good times - ate a late lunch after cleaning up and then headed to the Anne Murray Centre in Springhill Nova Scotia - a tribute to the legendary Snowbird herself. The museum was pretty interesting (apparently Ann was in town 2 weeks ago... that would've been a cool photo opp.)
Returned back from Anne Murray Centre, did a load of wash and then ate a scrumptious meal before heading to see the largest fields of blueberries that I could ever imagine.
Amazing blueberries and amazing Grace Smith... so glad that she was apart of my trip across Canada.
One other highlight was seeing a hummingbird at the feeder and taking pics.
