Let's Go Places (And Meet People!): Wolfville, Nova Scotia


Today's story is about the first weekend of my Maritimes trip.  I stayed in Wolfville, Nova Scotia with Elisabeth and Family.  The visit was a perfect blend of seeing epic places and spending time with epic people.

Wolfville is a university town with a permanent population of 5,000.  At any given time there are about twice that many people around - tourists in the summer and university students during the school year.  It has a good blend of small town charm but with all of the stores that a person could possibly need plus easy access to Halifax for big city essentials (hospitals, Ikea, Costco).  The only criticism anyone could possibly have of Wolfville is that there are no traffic lights, so there can be some traffic backups downtown on weekends where everyone is out and about.

Are there wolves in Wolfville?  Sorry to disappoint, but the town is named after Elisha DeWolf who was an early postmaster.  Many of the places that we visited are outside of Wolfville city limits, but in my mind this is a Wolfville trip so I'm sticking with the title.

Let's Go Places (And Meet People!): The Maritimes of Canada

 

Friends, we have so much to talk about.  I just got back from a 10 day Maritimes binge, and it's going to take a few posts to unpack all of the goodness.  Today I'd like get things started by giving you the overview of the trip and telling you about the first night.

What are the Maritimes you may ask?  I hadn't heard this term before I went to British Columbia last month, but now I know that it is the collective name for the three eastern provinces of Canada: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

The Big Book Catchup


When we last talked about books, my Kindle was overflowing.  Here's how the new books panned out and what I've read since.
