Hi we had a day full of history today.

First we visited Fort Petrie created to protect the local steel and coal production in WW2.

Then we went on along the coast 4 miles to find a working lighthouse.

At Louisbourg we stopped for coffee and lunch then visited a huge fortress. It is an historic site of Canada, a totally reconstructed French Fortress of 1744.

People were dressed up as soldiers and towns people. It was so interesting. The British took it over twice from the French (worth looking up the full history of the events especially about General Wolfe).

Anyway it was sunny with a cold strong wind from the sea but very enjoyable to visit.

And to finish the day we went to the opposite side of the harbour to photo the fortress.

Love to you all xxx
