Digby is one of the places where I specifically planned to go and looked forward to.  I splurged and made a reservation at the only B&B directly on the Bay of Fundy so I could see first hand the changes of the tides.  Brother John called me yesterday to remind me to take pictures of this phenomenon and, to be honest, I think he wanted me to sit on the banks of the Fundy and take pictures every few minutes.  I wasn’t quite ready to commit to that but I will tell you I can see the entire Bay out of my window and from my balcony.  And, I have taken pictures at several different times.  I will not tantalize you with the results because high tide does not come again until 10:24 PM and, at that time, it will be too dark to take pictures.  So, I will wait until after the morning high tide at 10:54 AM.  I will then post the pictures at both low and high tide.

Putting the Digby tides aside, the ride here was spectacular through the interior mountains driving through farmland and small towns quaint with cottages.

We arrived in Digby at this bed and breakfast, “Come from Away”.  I had fallen in love with its name and location directly on the Bay of Fundy and, as I said, I got a room directly on the water.  I was not disappointed.  The B&B consists of two buildings.  The main house (pictured below on the left) was built in 1904 for a prominent, local businessman by the name of J.L Peters.  Retaining the rich detailing of the period, all four of its guest rooms are furnished in keeping with the period.  My room is in the other building (pictured on the right), a lovely Edwardian home on the harbor, with breathtaking views of the Annapolis Basin, and the World Famous Digby Scallop Fleet where approximately every six hours you can watch as the world-famous tides fill the Annapolis Basin, then recede.

Our room is lovely with period furnishings and a porch with a view that one would never tire of:

Chloe and I walked around town, taking in the sights, meeting shop owners (many allow dogs to enter), and found a lovely place on the water to partake Digby scallops, which I opted to have pan-seared.
