Today we crossed into Nova Scotia and stopped at
Truro. Lovely area! The main feature here is the
Tidal Bore, which is what happens when the massive high tides of the
Bay of Fundy arrive at the "end of the line" and push the Salmon River backwards. What we saw was a small wave come around the corner and then travel UPstream in the Salmon River, filling what was an almost-empty riverbed. The basin was completely filled within an hour.

These are various pictures of the tidal bore we watched. We got to see the small brown wave comin' on in....
