Thursday Travels: Leaving Prince Edward Island

I think this is the Covehead Lighthouse.  (Late afternoon, 6 June 2012.)

Well, here we are back on Prince Edward Island.  It’s just about time to say goodbye.  M and I had only one full day there, and we did as much as we could considering the weather.

Thursday Travels: Greenwich

Standing near the edge. North Shore, near Rustico, Prince Edward Island.

I left us standing near the edge of the red cliffs of Prince Edward Island in my last chapter of Thursday Travels.  It’s not a bad place to be left for a while, to contemplate life, the universe, the gulf, and everything.

Thursday Travels: The Rocks of Cape Enrage

Point Wolfe. Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada.

If you were here last week, you may recall that I took you as far as the bottom of the stairs on the hike M and I took to Point Wolfe in Fundy National Park.  (If you don’t recall it, or you missed it, you’ll find the link at the bottom of this post).  This is the beach at the Point Wolfe River Estuary.

Goodbye Nova Scotia

Sunrise this morning. South Harbor. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

M and I left the Cape Breton Highlands of Nova Scotia this morning.  I didn’t want to leave.  I love it there.  Love it.  I want to live there, and we were told by some of the very friendly folks we met there that we were welcome and they’d take care of us if we did decide to relocate.
