Historical Grand Pre : Historical Grand Pre 

Grand-Pré area was the centre of Acadian settlement from 1682 to 1755.  The mass deportation (expulsion) of the French-speaking Acadian settlers by the British began in 1755 and continued until 1762. 
Some fled to other nearby provinces like New Brunswick while others were scattered by deportation as far down south as Louisianna in the USA. My own maternal ancestry is Acadian and I can trace my family's tree back to 1640. (Barb)

Harrison Hot Springs BC Canada in winter : We drove from Sacramento to Harrison Hot Springs in about 18 hours, arriving there very early on Christmas morning . We had expected to find it covered in snow, or at least soggy with rain and slush, but delighted with the mostly dry, mostly sunny, yet definitely crisp weather. Perhaps the real winter comes in February. We took two days to drive home, stopping in Lynden WA for a peek at their museum, then spending the night in Medford OR.

Blomidon Provincial Park 1 - Annapolis Valley : Bomidon Provincial Park is located along the shores of the Bay of Fundy (Minas Basin) in the Annapolis Valley region of Nova Scotia, Canada. The park covers 1,875 acres (759h) of spectacular and rugged east coast shoreline, impressive red cliffs, and hiking trails. The cliffs (capes) along the shoreline are made up of hardened red clay (red sandstone), slate, and granite layers. They range in size from 30 ft. (9.1m) to 100 ft (33m) along the beach. Then the shoreline becomes very narrow toward the tip of the peninsula to the north  and beyond where the cliffs reach heights of 600 ft. (180m). Some areas are not accessible by land. Unfortunately, the cliffs are in a very rapid state of erosion. 

Blomidon beach is spectacular, but as is the case with most beaches on the Bay of Fundy, caution is strongly advised.  The tides come in very rapidly (13 knots) and are the highest in the world. A maximum of three hours between low and high tide is strongly recommended on the beaches. Visitors must also be careful when nearing the cliffs because of constant and rapid erosion.

Day 1. May 05, 2007. 18:00 hrs. - Receding tide. 
High tide: 15:30 - 36.7 ft. (11.2m) 
Low tide: 21:30 - 8.2 ft. (2.5m)
Temperature 5.3c (41.36f) and overcast.
