Lunenburg is the best surviving example of a planned British colonial settlement in North America. Established in 1753, it has retained its original layout and overall appearance, based on a rectangular grid pattern drawn up in the home country. The inhabitants have managed to safeguard the city's identity throughout the centuries by preserving the wooden architecture of the houses, some of which date from the 18th century. We will post more pics later.
 Lunenburg has free Wi-Fi throughout the city and it works great!


 
See the tours taking a picture of me taking their picture
 



 It was a very foggy day and it rained and rained in the night

Work still goes on in the fog


 Bluenose is represented on the Canadian dime. She's in dry dock and I had to take the picture through a chain-link fence.
