Day 36, Sunday, July 29, 2007

Rain overnight and this morning but some sun this afternoon with occasional dark clouds spitting rain. Still very warm, about 80, but a great relief from the 90’s of yesterday.

We drove to Sydney this afternoon for lunch, to find a Honda dealer, to see if there was an interesting harbor, and to grocery shop. Found all but the interesting harbor. Sydney is a decent sized city but not much happening.

The restaurant we ate lunch at has a high-speed internet connection so I was able to upload some pictures to several older posts that were without them. The Meat Cove pictures were not yet on the computer so those will be posted next time.

Our trip to Meat Cove yesterday was the furthest North and East we could travel (short of getting on a ferry to Newfoundland for a 20 hour $1,100.00 round trip fare). We are not going to do that so everything from now on is kind of heading back West towards home. It will not be a direct route home, however. We still have to complete the loop around the rest of Nova Scotia, then all of Prince Edward Island, and finally the Eastern Coast of New Brunswick up into Quebec, and then home by way of Quebec and Ontario, entering the USA at Sault Ste. Marie. If the timing is right we will meet Brother T and Sister D at Mears SP as we travel through Michigan towards home.
