July 1, 2019, Sydney, Nova Scotia 171/183
Merrilynne and I spent a few hours walking along the picturesque seafront boardwalk taking in the scenes and proud history of many mariners. A nice lady's sweater found its way from a hanger on shore to our cabin!
There is something special about being back in your own country. A free wheeling conversation broke out between us and several local Nova Scotians who were controlling security for ship boarding. We would have been set for a fun evening if our ship hadn't been set to sail.
Oceania put on a Canada Party in the Horizon Lounge, with excellent 'beaver' muffins and 'beaver tails' and music by Canadian entertainers!
