This morning as we explored Louisbourg Fortress, we met various people from the 18th century who helped us understand what life was like in this city within a fort. A pleasant bus ride took us to Baddeck on the shores of Great Bras d’Or Lake. Alexander Graham Bell had many creative and productive years here, and at the Bell Museum we saw some of his very impressive inventions.

During a late afternoon boat cruise, we saw his stunning lakeside estate, and even a few bald eagles!
