We are at the end of the line at Cape Breton in Nova Scotia. The weather is fine, if a little humid being surrounded by ocean. There is lots of beautiful water, hills, valleys, coves, and mild climate. Tomorrow should be perfect for driving the John Cabot Trail (named after Giovanni Caboto, an Italian explorer who touched on these shores in 1497) which loops around and through Cape Breton Highlands National Park. For now, we are in a campground in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, a good point from which to travel the Trail and visit the little town of Baddeck. Baddeck was the home of Alexander Graham Bell, and we visited the Bell Museum this afternoon.
Yesterday was a long drive across Nova Scotia; it was very quiet, and the occasional license plates read: “Nova Scotia, Canada’s Ocean Playground.” I’m sitting at a picnic table where the WiFi signal is stronger and enjoying the light ocean breeze and the Acadian accents! Our neighbor just locked herself out of her beautiful fifth wheel, so they are taking her window apart to get inside! Her accent just got a little stronger with quite a bit more emotion!
