This was a good day for visiting museums and going to
a Celtic Colours concert, as this was a rainy day. The stop in the charming town of Baddeck was fascinating for us and historically important to us, because we didn't know a lot about Alexander Graham Bell's contributions, his interesting life, and his connection to Canada. We ended the day in Sydney on a perfect note by attending a performance, one of the Celtic Colours shows, tickets we were lucky enough to secure the night before - we got the last two seats! We were treated to performances by local and international artists.

This beautiful old typewriter is on display at the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Baddeck, NS. I just love the open style of it.
Wooden hull and cockpit of Hydrofoil (Hydrodome) HD-4. After this success with the Silver Dart, Bell turned his attention to hydrofoil watercraft. He saw them as a marine analogy to aircraft and Bras d'Or Lake provided a lot of room for experimentation. Bell called the experimental boats "hydrodomes". The HD-4 was his most successful hydrofoil, attaining a speed of 70.8 mph (114 km/h) in 1919. Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site.
