We headed out to Peggy's Cove this morning. For those of you who don't know what Peggy's Cove is, it's pretty much a tiny little fishing village (population = 40...seriously), but definitely a tourism hot spot for its lighthouse and scenery. It was about a 40 minute drive, and we saw beautiful fall colors pretty much the whole time. We're planning on heading to Cape Breton Island next weekend and hope that the leaves aren't gone already. After lunch in one of the two places in town, we went out to see the lighthouse and the waves crashing on the rocks (check out the video below). It was pretty spectacular.
After Peggy's Cove, we drove to Dr. Kirby's cottage (we work for Dr. Kirby in the lab). Dr. Kirby invited us to sail with him this afternoon on his boat. Though we've been on lots of boats, this was the first time either of us had sailed. Dr. Kirby was gracious enough to explain all that goes into sailing a boat and had us help with different parts of it during the trip. It was so peaceful out on the water, and we had with Dr. Kirby's dog, Jake, too. A little preview on tomorrow...we're not going to give it away, but it involves floating vegetables. Check back tomorrow for more...

That's beautiful!! I'm so glad you're getting to do cool stuff while you're there!!
Amundson's think that it is more beautiful than the Mohrs do...
Be thankful to see fall. Green or dead here, hot, cold, and now hot again.
We'd kill for some NE-style fall around here!
Love you guys!
