Wednesday we were in Sydney, NS. The last time we were here, we rented a car and drove around Cape Breton. This time we decided to just explore the town which, Dear Reader, you know is our favorite thing to do. So we took the tender in . . .
. . . and walked for about 2 hours. We started off walking along the boardwalk.
We had to divert off the boardwalk due to construction which turned out okay because we came upon a farmer's market which turned out to be a crafts market today. Some interesting crafts and friendly artisans.
Getting back on track we walked around the lake at Wentworth Park.
We then headed back into town. The buildings and houses were very lovely.
Along the boardwalk I had noticed a sign for the Sydney Art Walk with a QR link for a map. So we followed the map and discovered much interesting and colorful street art. Here's a sampling:
Our final stop before taking the tender back to the ship was at the famous "Big Fiddle".
This afternoon we take off for our last port in Canada - Shelburne, NS.
Peace and blessings,
Linda and Larry
Q: How many Nova Scotians does it take to play the big fiddle?
ReplyDeleteA: (according to chatGPT)
Just one, but they'll insist on a lobster dinner break halfway through!
Two, one to play the fiddle and the other to keep apologizing for any out-of-tune notes.
Three, one to play, one to dance a jig, and one to explain why the fiddle is so big.
Four, but only if they can find enough warm sweaters first.
Five, one to play and four to debate whether it's a fiddle or a violin.
Six, but only after a heated argument about the proper bowing technique.
Seven, one to play, two to hold the sheet music, and four to form a ceilidh band.
Eight, because there's always room for more musical opinions in Nova Scotia!
Nine, but they'll need to stop for a Tim Hortons coffee break first.
Ten, one for each province in Canada to ensure national representation.
Eleven, but only if the fiddle is accompanied by a bagpipe for that extra Scottish flair.
Twelve, one for each month of the year to keep the music going all year long.
Thirteen, because they heard it brings good luck in maritime music.
Fourteen, one for each lighthouse along the Nova Scotia coastline.
Fifteen, one to play and fourteen to form a fiddle-playing cheer squad.
Sixteen, because they couldn't decide between a quartet and a big band.
Seventeen, one to play and sixteen to join in for a massive kitchen party.
Eighteen, but only if they promise not to start a debate on the best seafood chowder.
Nineteen, one to play and eighteen to start a friendly debate about the best fiddle player in Nova Scotia.
Twenty, because in Nova Scotia, more fiddlers mean more fun!
Love it, love it, love it! Excellent use of AI.
