Digby

Recently we ended up in Digby after a day of toodling around, mostly in Annapolis Royal. It was the start of Scallop Days in Digby so there were some vendors out and some grandstands in the downtown street awaiting the parade.

We didn't stay for the parade (it being late in the day and we had 1 1/2 hour drive to get home to feed the animals) but we did take a walk out on the docks.

Despite the threatening skies, it didn't rain and it was quite a pleasant walk. I love looking at the fishing boats (mostly scallop boats in this harbour I think).

After our walk, we stopped at a dockside seafood store and picked up a couple of pounds of scallops fresh from the ocean. Popped them into our trusty cooler for the drive back, and found a roadside stand along the way selling fresh corn, tomatoes and blueberries. We had a late night dinner of barbequed scallops wrapped in bacon, bbq'd corn on the cob, and sliced tomatoes. High bush blueberries (big fat juicy ones) for dessert. Yum.

We'll have to get back to Digby for another day out. Next time, straight to Digby and then out along the Digby Neck & Islands scenic drive.
