-- Back from Cape Breton I am --
Well I'm back from my driving adventure. The Cape was very beautiful. Lots of forested mountains plunging down into (oddly still) oceans. And the road hugging the curves as it winds up and down and through the park. I'm so glad I'm traveling at this time of year.
I did a lot of driving and going 'wow' 'that's pretty' etc. Also some bushwalking, also going 'wow' as well as '4 km my arse!' etc. I spent a night sleeping in the car, then decided that small cars are not conducive to a good nights sleep (and pain-free knees) so stayed in hotels the rest of the time. I also had one of those fabulous travel moments that seem to condense the whole point of traveling into one instant. THis time it was when I came over a hillside in Cape Breton National Park and there was a mother and baby moose standing by the road. It was so cool, and the baby so small - like knee-high to its mother - that I just burst out laughing. It made me so happy I sang about the baby moose all the way down the mountain.
The weather wasn't so dry the last couple of days but that was cool too. I saw smokey mountain covered in the fog it was named for, and everything looked appropriately moody. Am now back in Halifax and tomorrow fly back to Toronto. Have to mail some more stuff home. Don't know how I've managed to accumluate so much stuff. God knows I'm not buying anything.
