Day 31 (7/22/09) - Antigonish to Baddeck

Today was a short day. 94 miles from Antigonish to Baddeck, home of Alexander Graham Bell's National Historic Site (Museum). It rained most of the way.


The museum shows that Bell was so much more than the telephone. In fact, much of his life was spent in helping deaf people learn to talk. He spent much time with flying things - kites and airplanes. The museum is filled with his many models involving transmission of sound, either via electricity or light; and structural components.

Photography was difficult in the museum, but I have uploaded one taken of a model of the hydrofoil built for the military to track submarines.

Since tomorrow is expected to be partly sunny, we've scheduled a boat tour of bird island to see the Puffins.

KPG: 34.1
Campground: $31 C
