Hello Again!

I'm a very lucky travelling piglet, but not all travellers are as lucky as I am. =( A big plane crashed off the coast of Nova Scotia 11 years ago and I went to visit the memorials.

First I went to the one in Bayswater.



It was located up in the trees at a beautiful location. This was the view from the parking lot!



And here it is. (Rosalva came too!)





The passenger's remains were buried in the roped off area.



People had left lots of flowers around.



Here you can see the whole thing:



The memorial even had a toy guardian! I talked to the bear a little bit. I thought at first that he might be sad because he has to stay in one place all the time. He told me though that he likes his job. He says he gets to meet lots of people and cheer them up.  I guess it wouldn't be so bad.





But I like to travel so I went to see the second memorial in a place called Whalesback.



This one is located right out by the ocean. Can you see that tiny little lighthouse in the background? That's the one that I recently visited!



Here there is a long winding path to take you to the memorial.



There it is!



There are lots and lots of rock boulders in this area. They were left behind when glaciers passed over the land many many years ago.



They are kind of eerie. I felt a little like I was wandering around on another planet!



Whew! Almost there!



There are toy guardians at this one too! A kitty and a bunny!



I sat with them a while.



Here is the other big stone.



We figured out that the plane went down right out there. It's hard to imagine something so bad happening in such a nice place!



I found a boulder to sit on and had a moment of silence for the passengers and crew.



It was time to go home after one last look.



I wonder where I will visit next!

Bye for now!
