It was cold our last night in Louisbourg, down to the 30's . Leaving Louisbourg, we drove back up to Sydney, then back to Port Hastings, where we crossed back to the main part of Nova Scotia leaving Cape Breton behind. We drove back to the town called Antigonish ( pronounced Annigonish) and then south towards the Eastern Shore and the Atlantic Ocean. We stopped for the night in Sherbrooke, at a campground on the St. Mary's River. It was a beautiful spot. Sherbrooke Village is a former lumbering, shipbuilding and goldmining community that has historic buildings and period dressed interpreters. We did not stop here, but our campground was very close to the sawmill, powered by a water wheel, which still operated.
