We like to travel.
This was our first lighthouse that we saw, near Cavendish, Prince Edward Island (PEI) in North Rustico Harbour. It has the shape, and the cupola on top, but alas, I think this is just a house. We turned 180 degrees from this site, and saw this: We soon figured out that the shape of a… Continue reading Lighthouses
"Okay, Dave," I said this morning. "Today is Eat Your Way Through Montreal!" I'd been reading the guidebooks, the web, and had found several food items that seemed to be Montreal specialties, and since this was our last full day, we had to hit them all. But first, a stop at the cathedral that we… Continue reading Sailors and First Harvest
Thought I'd show you the doors going into the Metro stations from the street. They pivot on the center which means, now that we're having a heat wave here, that they can prop them open to get a breeze into the extremely hot and muggy Metro Stations. Just outside the Metro, Dave spots this urban… Continue reading Notre-Dame and Jazz
We flew early this morning to Montreal, leaving behind the green Nova Scotia islands. First up: locate hotel. Next up: persuade them to let us check in early (it's 9:30 a.m.) Miraculously, they did let us check in. Bliss. We took time to get the wireless working for our iPhones, took a break, then went… Continue reading Mont-Royal, Park and City
We visited Lunenberg today, a place that has a lot of really old homes as well as others that they've painted bright colors (example above). The trim on this is lavender and it has has a blue door, but I think they're not quite done with the painting yet. We're two too-tired tourists, so the… Continue reading Last Day in Halifax Area
New bed and breakfast, new placement of light switches, new kinds of towels (amazing how this differs) but same breakfast: scrambled eggs. This one was delicious and upscale (served on a TOASTED croissant with a light lemony hollandaise sauce) but after having eggs five days in a row, we're kind of done with that. We… Continue reading Peggy’s Cove
We slept well at this bed and breakfast and I took a slow morning, barely making it down to (a delicious) breakfast by their deadline of 9:00 a.m. I found it curious that they had a CD of Irish music playing in the background, when the area is known for the Cape Breton Scottish-style fiddle… Continue reading Happy Canada Day
This morning, during breakfast while chatting with our innkeeper and fellow residents, we learned that there is an annual festival here in Mabou called Celtic Colors, and that the Glendyer Inn is always booked up solid for that time, as there are not many rooms available in this area. I thought it would be something… Continue reading Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail
We left Prince Edward Island this morning, kind of happy to be going on to the next part of our journey. Whether it was because of the constant rain, the night's lodging (Dave called it our Hotel California, if you get our drift) or the meal from the night before, we escaped the fictive Green… Continue reading Ceilidh in Cape Breton
Rain, lots of it, made for a wet and gray day. We ducked into a little shopping center just before the main highway, where we saw this sign for Takee Outee, as well as a grocery store AND a fabric shop. Then we traveled down the highway for a an hour or so, until we… Continue reading Green Gables and PEI
