Au Canada - Days 5 & 6 - Halifax to Cape Breton

Monday, June 29 - Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

Finally, I have enough of an internet connection to post a blog. This blog will contain links to the web albums, which took forever to upload with the connections and speed we have up here.

Day 5 - traveling from Halifax to Cape Breton Island. The trip was basically uneventful, with fairly decent weather and dry road conditions. Along the way, we crossed over the Strait of Canso onto Cape Breton Island. While crossing the Strait on the causeway, there were 3 Canadian Naval ships entering the locks, which allow passage from the North shore to the South shore of Nova Scotia. Additionally, there was also a freight train passing us on our right, going in the opposite direction. We tried to get photographs of everything going on around us, but weren't very successful. We finally arrived at the Cabot Trail campground around 2:30PM and got the motor homes set up. Next, we drove into the town of Baddeck to look around. The two K's were looking for a yarn shop in town, which we did find.

Day 6 - The Cabot Trail. After a quick breakfast, we loaded up the dogs and headed out to explore the Cabot Trail. The weather was "iffy", at best, with ground fog in low-lying areas. However, we did see some sunshine along the way. Our first stop was at the Clucking Hen Cafe and Bakery for coffee and a snack. From there, we continued our exploration of "the Trail". A lot of the pictures in the web album for Day 6 are of clouds and fog, since these were the most prevalent things we were able to see. We did, however, manage to get photos of some of the sights along the way. In all, our trip around the Cabot Trail, 195 miles, took us about 8 hours to complete. We returned to the campground around 4:30PM, and spent the rest of the day relaxing.

I attempted to add photographs to the blog, but the connection is too slow, and they will not load. Anyway, you can see all the photographs in the web albums. Here are the links:

My thoughts were, "What information?! All anyone else has channeled on the subject seems pretty vague and worthless Use your paintbrush to remove laser toner from any crevices The opposite is actually more often true as people tend to want to hire specialistsIf God is truly in control of all things and all things are working for our good, what is good or bad? It is all-purpose, timing and destiny
