nouvelle ecosse is a thing of the past
Aug. 19th, 2004 03:13 amSuddenly I'm really tired, but then maybe that's because it's past 3:00 am. I know I shouldn't be up this late, but I still have five billion things to set up on this computer. I just got my new laptop (omg) yesterday, and things are going pretty smoothly. I already love it, even if the AIM client for Mac is the worst piece of crap software that I've used in a while.
So, I'm back from Nova Scotia. Needless to say, the place was incredible. The whole province is pretty tiny (compared to where I come from, at least), and they all use the same area code. I think that's cute. They don't even have to dial ten digits. The population is just shy of a million, and for some reason, smaller populations make for friendlier people. I don't know what it is, but when you come to a place like this, you can just go up to random people and talk about random things, and they'll just talk back. Come back to Toronto, and you'd be locked up in an asylumn for doing the same thing. Sad, isn't it?
We spent most of the time on Cape Breton Island in a little town called Baddeck. Baddeck is home to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, and the town is the last place where he lived. The guy is actually really fascinating, and there's a lot more to him than the telephone.
I loved being out on the Atlantic ocean. I loved the scenery. I loved how everything was unpolluted and untained (almost). I loved taking 2000 pictures, even if I dread editing them. I didn't love the food, though. My brother and I are really allergic to seafood, and, well, that's the main menu item in the Maritimes.
A field of flowers at Louisbourg (I have lots of stories about that place).
