Seaforth, Nova Scotia, that is. Having heard about the twin town on the east coast, they were anxious to stop by and see what was happening. As it turned out, considerably less was happening than they had anticipated. "I figured, "Oh, we'll see something"', recalls Mr. Hoegy. "I was looking for the main intersection, maybe some stop lights." "No such luck! ", he laughs. Seaforth, Nova Scotia turned out to be a humble little burg, to say the most. A short drive past the namepost, the Hoegys came across a huddle of eight or nine houses and a weather-beaten building backing onto the beach bearing the sign SEAFORTH COMMUNITY CEN- TRE - CARD GAME EVERY SATUR- DAY NIGHT, 8 P.M. Where was the cen- tral part of town, the couple asked the local postmistress. "You're in it!", she replied. This was just one of a host of anec- dotes that the Hoegys tell about their two-week trip to the Maritimes this past July. Convinced by their son to visit this beautiful part of the country, they struck out on July 17 by plane, rented a car in Halifax and spent their time driving around Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island drinking in the scenery and the famous Eastern Canada hospitality. "The people were very laid back, very friendly," says Mr. Hoegy. "They had time to talk, time to relax." Besides Seaforth, the couple spent many enjoyable days stopping in little hamlets and villages for a meal or a stay at a bed and breakfast.

Seaforth, Nova Scotia lurks somewhere on the map in very small letters. Elliott photo. to the Cabot trail, but decided that hik- ing it might be a little much and opted to take things in from the comfort of their car. "We were just a couple of old folks on holidays!," Mr. Hoegy chuckles. The Hoegys travelled alongside the trail and down towards Cape Breton Highlands Park, destroyed by fire in the late 1940s but now almost completely .restored to its old splendor. Although the area is said to be rife with wildlife, the couple sighted only one animal, a Bald Eagle, one of North America's most endangered species. A highlight of the trip was seeing the Tidal Bore at Cobequid Bay, at the mouth of the Salmon River. Here, the tide is at its highest; and rises with clockwork regularity at 12 hour intervals. A schedule that the Hoegys kept from the Tidal Bore lists the precise times that the tide will rise for the next four months. Sure enough, at exactly 5:52 on July 24 the water rushed in just as the schedule had promised. "It isn't a half a second out," Mr. Hoegy marvels. "I just wish the guy who made this schedule was running our railroads." The Hoegys observed this natural phenomenon from a lobster restuarant which provided a perfect view. Space was at a premium. "I had to eat two lobsters just to hold our seats." Lunenbourg, home of the Bluenose, and Moncton were two other stops on the agenda along with Peggy's Cove. The famed Peggy's Cove proved to be very photogenic but verysmall, basically a large shelf of rock with the lighthouse perched atop it, keeping a watch over the Cove. The waves sweeping up towards the lighthouse can often be huge, and the view is breathtaking. Mr. Hoegy enquired of a local shopkeeper what the attraction was, though, that compelled people to stand and look out at the Cove for long periods of time. "Well, if you wait out there long enough," the local replied, "you might see some idiot get swept away." Lobsters were common fare, and Mrs. Hoegy discovered that it is possible to get tired of this delicacy. "The first night we ate out, we got the whole lobster", she recalls with a bit of a grimace. "That was enough after that." Being landlocked here in Southern On- tario, 'there is a lot that we don't know about lobsters other than you generally have to pay for a meal of one with VISA. For instance, lobsters grow only once a year for the first seven years, shedding their shell. The average one -and -a -half pound lobster is seven -years -old, and they live to be about 75. The pincer of a 100 -year-old lobster, now dead, was the size of Mr. Hoegy's hand. And perhaps the most crucial point of all concerning lobster, Mr. Hoegy adds, is "..if they don't squeal when they hit the water, they're no good!" The Hoegys agree that Prince Edward Island, where they stayed for a number of days, is one of the prettiest, places in Canada. Cavendikh, PEI was a favorite stopover. "It's beautiful country, and so well - kept." The Hoegys exclaimed over the spec- tacular white sand beach at Cavendish, although they noted that the area is becoming a little too commercialized for their taste. "It's sort of like Grand Bend," noted Mr. Hoegy. "Every time you turn around, it costs you three bucks apiece." The couple are no strangers to travel, having ventured to Los Angeles and Mex- ico last winter, and are looking forward to more trips in the future. "We'll take them if we get the . chance," Mr. Hoegy asserts. His advice • to would-be travellers? Just get up and • go. "Don't wait too long until you can't en- joy it." ESSAY .
