Keri had a big presentation for Grand Rounds this morning in front of several rehab staff and medical school personnel. The presentation went well. Afterwards, we headed out to "The Valley," meaning the Annapolis Valley, about an hour away from Halifax. Our wheelchair skills research team was doing an all day conference with two presentations, so we drove out on a beautiful fall day to see it. Before we went to the conference site, we headed up to a look off point overlooking the valley and the Bay of Fundy. For those of you who don't know, the Bay of Fundy has the largest tides in the world. During extreme tides, it can vary up to 50 feet between high and low tides!
After the presentation, we met a delightful elderly couple through the two wheelchair skills team members we were with. The man is an artist, and gave Keri a tiny sculpture of puffins sitting on an actual piece of whale bone that he found down on the beach by the Bay of Fundy! We went out to eat at the local hot spot, which is known for their pie. Good pie, good company, good weather. Another good day.
