Urbania Nova Scotia

What constitutes a good travel day. Is it tropical storm strength winds? Or maybe torrential continuous rain? How about dense fog with 1/4 kilometer visibility? Today was an excellent travel day. We are here to witness the largest tidal change on earth. 47 to 53 feet. When the outgoing and incoming tides collide they form a tidal bore. A wave that can reach 16 feet. There are companies that take groups out on the bore in zodiacs. We have been told that you should wear old clothes if you book one of those trips because you will get soaked, and the muddy water will forever stain what you are wearing. Jenny is excited about the prospect of ruining some clothes but I, using common sense,  have said no. We are far enough north that Directv satellites are too low on the horizon for us to use. SiriusXm, satellite radio, does work. We can listen to MSNBC on the radio. I play the part of Chris Matthews and its almost like the real thing. No pics today. It was an all day drive.
