Lupins, Louisbourg and Lighthouses Day 2

We woke up to a beautiful looking day.  From our hotel room we could see the big fiddle.  We enjoyed some breakfast and then went to explore Sydney.  Along the sides of the roads were wild Lupins growing all over the place. They were in full bloom and very pretty to see.  We found an information booth and decided to go check out the Fortess of Louisbourg.  It was about a half hour drive so we decided to enjoy some lunch in the town of Louisbourg first.  We found a small restaurant on the water called The Lobster Kettle. We enjoyed some seafood chowder and a seafood wrap.  Next we went to see The Fortress of Louisbourg.  It was very interesting walking through the old buildings that had been restored.  They fired off two cannon shots while we were there.  We saw a drastic change in the weather as the fog moved in and the temperatures started dropping.  It even started to rain a bit.   On our way home we made a stop to check out a lighthouse.  Apparently there were ruins from 2 lighthouses and one of them was from the first lighthouse built in Canada.  Interesting the things you learn.

In the evening we went to the Governor's Pub and Eatery.  They were celebrating Kitchenfest there and had a few people playing for the evening.  They played celtic tunes on the fiddle and guitar.  Was very enjoyable.
