Yesterday morning was spent under the grey skies at St.FX. After a particularly slow morning we grabbed a bite to eat downtown (Sunshine on Main = DELICIOUS), and then headed off to Port Hawksbury. As we approached the Canso Causeway the sun broke through the clouds and we were treated to blue skies for the first time since the tour began. Wendy, our fabulous bus driver, assured us that the sun is always shining in Cape Breton (the 13th province, according to her!). Can you guess where she hails from?
We spent the rest of the afternoon taking care of work things (uploading photos; responding to e-mails; writing out blog entries for each of our stops), then grabbed a bite to eat at a local pub. After picking up a few essentials at the grocery store we headed back for an early evening of rest at the hotel. I had developed a bit of an allergic reaction to something so I took a Benadryl and turned in early.
Now I'm off to make the most of this day. I think Cap and I are going to grab a bite to eat, then we'll head down to walk along the water. I feel so relaxed here, wandering the quiet streets, watching the clothes blow on lines, and breathing in the smell of wood stoves. I want to take it all in while I can!
