A Nova Scotia Holiday…Part IV

At Margaree, and somewhat arbitrarily, the Ceilidh Trail changes into the Cabot Trail, one of the world’s truly spectacular roads. Of course, John Cabot, who is said to have landed at what is now Aspy Bay, on the Atlantic side, probably never traveled here. Continuing past Margaree Harbour we drive... Sign in to see full entry.

A Nova Scotia Holiday…Part III

As the Ceilidh Trail 1 curves north-east along the shore, the road rises. To our left the sun glistens on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and on our right we encounter the first outcroppings of the ancient rock formations, as the one to be seen here. But we can’t stop for long to take pictures, because we... Sign in to see full entry.

A Nova Scotia Holiday…Part II

Driving north from Halifax you get to Truro, where you have to turn either left or right. Left goes to Amherst and on to New Brunswick and the rather substantial rest of Canada, or ‘Upper Canada’ as the locals call anything beyond Amherst; to the right is the eastern part of the Province, and as you...

A Nova Scotia Holiday…Part I

Well folks, I am back – though more in body than in spirit. Back from what is always a sentimental journey – to Nova Scotia, which, while not my first home, was a home to me for some years. And of course I didn’t go by choo-choo train, although that might have been fun too – haven’t been on a North... Sign in to see full entry.

I have been as far away...

from computers as it is possible these days - I haven't even seen any. I have seen and read a of lot of other things though, and in a few days I shall tell you and also show you more... Sign in to see full entry.

Travelling...

Like almost everybody else, I'm travelling - in the not-so-mysterious East (as opposed to the mysterious one), and shall occasionally send brief dispatches, opportunities (and natives) permitting... Sign in to see full entry.

My First Long Ride of the Summer...

I had plans for doing a lot of reading yesterday, to catch up with my favorite Bloggers, on things I missed during the last few weeks while I was being assailed by ‘pirates’, and while I was struggling with my abscessed tooth; I had even intended to write something of interest to everyone, but it...

Inspired by Vogue: More on the Wreck of the Serpent…

Inspired by Vogue’s account of her trip to Camariñas, found here, http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/vogue5582/622356, and since I am always interested in things having to do with ships and the sea, I did a little research and found the following interesting information.

Hi Folks, I'm Back...

- the rats have been drowned, my ship is clean, I didn't lose anything of importance and I can send out email again! Thanks to everybody for their good wishes, and a special thanks to the always helpful and knowledgable Gomedome, who made it possible for me to at least give the impression that I...

Still Battling the Forces of Evil...

that have taken hold of parts of my computer! It's taking so long because I don't want to lose any of my extensive files (yeah, I know they should all be backed up on a safe hard drive, but they ain't, okay?) My email provider (sympatico) even has a case # for my situation, lol) In the meantime, I... Sign in to see full entry.
