Alexander Graham Bell

Packed up and left Truro to drive to Baddeck on Cape Breton. We are en-route to the Newfoundland ferry crossing tomorrow.

Visited the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck. He lived much of his life here and built a lovely mansion still owned by his family. The family has donated many artifacts to the museum and it was very interesting learning much more about his life.
