Sparky's Epic Adventure Across North America (Annapolis Royal Nova Scotia)

June 20th: A clean-up and moving day. Before leaving Digby Nova Scotia, Sparky and I had a bit of a cleanup. The first stop was the laundromat, just a block from our motel. Then a quick stop at a self-serve car wash while my clothes were in the washing machine. Back to the laundromat to move the washing into the dryer, and then a dash to the Pet Valu to give the Fuzz-butt his bi-weekly bath. Fortunately for me, Sparky loves getting bathed. He climbs into the tub as soon as I take his leash off, and snuggles up to the sprayer when I turn it on. He's a weird little dog!

Then we headed north taking the secondary roads towards the pretty community of Annapolis Royal. It's another charming Maritime community that as soon as I saw it, I said to Sparky, "I could live here!"

Here's a bit of history about Annapolis Royal copied from the internet: "French colonists first began to cultivate Annapolis Royal Historic District, then known as Port-Royal, in 1605, but in 1613 the colony was seized by the British. In 1632, Acadia was restored to France by treaty after which the site was fortified and became the principal settlement of Acadian colonists. In 1643, a four-bastioned earthwork was constructed at Fort Anne, and by 1650 the beginnings of a town site existed. St. George Street, a main road of the district, was well developed by 1686. Acadia was ceded to Britain in 1713, and Port Royal was renamed Annapolis Royal. It served as the centre of military and administrative operations for the new British colony of Nova Scotia until 1749 when Halifax became the provincial capital. By virtue of its waterfront location, Annapolis Royal was well-established in shipbuilding, brick manufacturing, and lumber milling, which expanded and diversified the local economy."

By the time I had driven to Kentville, I had a raging headache and decided to take the faster road to Wolfville. About 14 kilometers! As I said, I had a raging headache and didn't realize that we were that close to our destination.

I used our secret door code to get into our studio suite at the Micro Boutique Living, on Main Street. It's a quite new, tiny one-bed unit, that works just fine for the Fuzz-butt and me. We are close to a park with walking pathways, several restaurants, and a cool craft brewery across the street, The Church Brewing Company.

I still have a headache, but it's not quite as bad as yesterday. Hopefully, I will be able to shake it off with more sleep, and eating better. Too many scallops and fries in the last three days!
