Day 18 - Travel Day - Annapolis Royal



Today was a travel day- a long long 311 miles. We pulled out early after Rogers expert tire inspection. He calibrates his equipment overnight so his measurements in the am are as accurate as can be.  It's a little disconcerting when he steps up to your RV, winds up his golf swing and yells "fore" and hits your tire.  Then he smiles and swings his club as he moseys along.  







 

Many of us stopped at Grand Pre to see the Evangeline memorial and learn  all about the deportation of the Acadian  people by ship.  The movie was excellent  and the site was beautiful.   





 













 



 As we met some of our  group there, there was much greeting, talk, and tales of the trip so far shared by our drivers.



 
















 







 
 You would have thought that they hadn't DC current and they couldn't turn any lights on.  Being the good
guys they are, they gathered around to offer advice, or commiseration, or just have some "guy time"  having been in the company of the wives all day.  At one point there were ;9 men there, with one of them being on the pull­out drawer in the "garage"  with his miners light on his head.  Finally, the problem  was solved, everyone heaved a sigh of satisfaction and returned to their coaches.
