Hello to Nova Scotia (and the East Coast)

A week ago I arrived back in The True North Strong and Free - East Coast Division partly for a wedding, and partly to (a-hem) check it out (see blog of January 3 The Announcement). My time thus far has been fabulous! Since I generally get bored blogging things much later than they have happened, I will just recap some of the highlights:

The arrival. Andrea was there. And so was Tim.


Halifax seems like a decent little town...I captured these shots of the Historic Buildings in a parked motorbike.




The Alexander Keiths Brewery Tour. Well, to be honest, the Tour was a bit half arsed, but the beer is good, and the knocking down of the display after this picture was taken provided minutes of amusement for both Andrea and I as well as the amused onlookers.



And catching lobster for our dinner. (I suppose tis true that they were somewhat being held captive in a tank)



Peggys Cove with Andrea






Ciaran s wedding and seeing Topaz, Zoic, Hallah, Lemme, Greg and of course, the lovely Ciaran! (I very stupidly did not get any photos of it so it is here represented by eyelashes belonging to Hallah!)



Prince Edward Island:

Meeting the Island (this is Thunder Cove and my happy red-sandy feet!)





This is the view from the LM Montgomery Museum...



Doing some amateur film making with Jen:



And frolicking on the beach (I thought she was just taking a picture, but sneaky Jen was recording another video):




Meeting little Niamh (who adores her aunt Jo very much!)








Being taken by Jen, Matt and Karl to Cavendish Beach (it was lovely and sunny, but the water was cold!):











Learning to play Cribbage late into the night at a 24 hour Tim Hortons...



I was very sad to leave a beautiful part of the country and the amazing people I spent time with there, but was also excited for my epic train journey and to see my family at the other end of it...
