WEATHER: Absolutely perfect! Sunny. Highs 70. Autumn-like in evening.
We took a 2-hour hike along one of the peninsulas, on a rocky trail that follows the coast.
Beautiful views all along the way.
On our way back to the house, we stopped in "The Ovens". They are sea caves along the coast with loud blow-holes.
Years ago, pirates hid in these caves waiting for ships to pillage.
Our friend Art is Portuguese, and he made delicious authentic Portuguese soup for lunch. After a little siesta, we went back to explore the town of Lunenburg. It is a picturesque fishing/tourist village.
We took the sunset cruise on the Eastern Star sailboat. This is the best view of the Lunenburg waterfront.
From the sailboat, we saw The Ovens where we had hiked earlier in the day. We learned that they got their name from their similar shape to pizza ovens.
We ate dinner in a seafood restaurant in town. Art had their specialty, lobster Thermidor. We had a scallop appetizer, grilled to perfection, then an Indian masala, with a nod to the Indian chef.
