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.
