Fort Amherst/Port La Joie National Historic Site

 Another Seven Years War site i visited this year 

The plaques fir the site were recently stolen only this one remains 

The Redoubt really reminded me of a fortified Roman camp

It was a beautiful way to watch the sunrise on Charlottetown Harbour 

I've been back home ten years now!

 A lot has happened since my family and I moved back to Nova Scotia. My children are nearly grown up going off to live their own lives. My wife and I unfortunately are living separate lives. I wish them well.

Despite not getting much gamming in this summer I did visit several 18th century historical sites.
