New Glasglow - The Walsh Clan

Nova Scotia's Best
Now you hear about the people in our nation's east. The hospitality is out of this world. Well, we found this to be so true. We entered New Glasgow, having departed PEI via the ferry straight to Nova Scotia. Still having troubles with our carburetors we parked and were walking over to a coffee house to work, and there in the parking lot was a young man who was intrigued by our bus. After a brief conversation he told us he'd call us in an hour someone who could help us out. Chris was true to his word and called us with a guy who could take a look at Olive. Chris also invited us back to his place to work and for dinner. His Dad, retired police officer Danny Walsh, cooked us up a wonderful lobster dinner! After dinner we took a drive out to the bus whisperer, Al Roberts. Al was terrific. Sticking his head into the bus with his tiny screwdrivers... he tinkered about, insisting on silence as he worked. Al got our bus running as good as he could, which was quite a bit better than she was running, and got us on our way. A super thanks to Chris and his Dad, Danny, who represented everything Nova Scotia is famed for... amazing people, super kind, warm and open.
