The Fortress at Louisbourg has changed a bit since I was here in the late 60's. There were only a couple of buildings, some cannon's and some of the rock walls when I was here then. They have done a great job in the restoration. It is nice to see our tax dollars going somewhere other than the politicians' pockets. It was a nice warm day here and 2 days without rain now, whoppee. The bottom picture was a re-enactment of a public humiliation which was common in 1744. This fellow stole a bottle of wine. A good bottle I hope. Yvonne made friends with one of the musicians. She likes dancers and musicians. One of the actors gave her a brass button that had fallen off his coat. All the uniforms and clothing are authentic for 1744.

Tommorrow we are off to Pictou for a couple of days. Beach time. We need a couple of lazy days with nothing to see except the beach.
