And i have a cold! Bleurgh! I still have lots left on the inhaler the doctor gave me last month so i am using that to hurry it along. (remember that $107 fiasco which reminds me i need to call the doctor's office again to see if she has yet filled out the authorization form).
I've narrowed down the choices of Inns if we go to Annapolis Royal to the Bread and Roses Inn or the At The Turret Inn though am leaning towards the Bread and Roses because of the four poster canopy beds. They both have availability and are around the same price with full breakfast.
Annapolis Royal and the area was the first permanent North American settlement north of St. Augustine, Florida. Nearby Port Royal was founded in 1605 by the French explorers Sieur de Mont and Samuel De Champlain and the area was the administrative center for Acadia (later Nova Scotia) until Halifax was founded in 1749. Acadia (or Acadie in French) actually covered part or all of New Brunswick and part of the northeast US, in and around Maine at the time. The founders got on quite well with the native Mi'kMaq. Acadia and Port Royal was shuffled back and forth between the British and the French for quite some time as spoils of various wars between the two countries. Once Halifax was founded the British got a stronger foothold and expelled the French Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755, the inspiration for Longfellow's poem, Evangeline. Many of the Acadians went to French-owned Louisiana and "Acadian" eventually became "Cajun". Many filtered back up north though and there are still pockets of French Acadians scattered through the east coast, along Nova Scotia's Fundy shore, in Cape Breton and in New Brunswick.
Annapolis Royal has 135 heritage buildings (and you know how much i like architecture) and some of the oldest wood frame buildings in Canada and it's a National Historic Site now. There are quite a few beautifully restored buildings from the 1700's and 1800's, many of which are still functioning as inns, churches, and the courthouse as well. And just looking at the local attractions, Wahey! They have a Computer Museum! Oh i am SO there!
