Upper Sackville.

Oct 3, 2019

We are off to Halifax today.  It is sunny but there is a chilly wind and the temperature at 7:00 is 3 degrees.  We both are enjoying the sun and our spirits are high.   Debbie had secured a KOA campground in Upper Sackville and we will be making it the home base as we tour around the Halifax area.  I made plans to bring our truck in for another warranty service work on Friday.  We left Amherst at 9:30 and headed down Hwy 104, a toll highway.  It is one of the few main highways that we have travelled on, on this trip. It is a relief not to have the bumpy roads that we have experienced the past month. 

As we headed east, we noticed that the trees in this region are turning to fall colors more vividly than in the other areas we had been in. Perhaps Hurricane Dorian did not the give this area as much wind damage as in the areas further east.  

We arrived at the KOA and set up our campsite.  We had to buy groceries and some other supplies so after setting up we drove into Sackville, about 10 kms from our campsite. Debbie noticed that Downton Abbey is playing at the local cinema theatre so she convinced me to go with her tonight. 

We returned to the campsite and I barbequed some pork chops and Debbie prepared some fresh corn and brussel sprouts.  We had a great supper and then drove back into town for the show.  I and six other men were severely outnumbered tonight.  I do have to admit that I enjoyed the show.  As I am typing this blog, the sky is clear and the stars are bright but it looks as if it could be a frosty night tonight.
