Heading back to the USA

Since the weather was going to stay rainy for a few days we decided it was time to start back to the states. Our Nova Scotia experience was so worth the bad roads and uncooperative weather. The pictures we put on here should speak volumes. We spent all our time in the Cape Breton area. This is the part of Nova Scotia best known for it's 186 mile coastal highway that boasts the best scenic route in the world. We covered about half of it and it did not disappoint. If the weather had permitted, we would have done several of the hiking trails. As it was, we tried to cram everything into one day that was sunny.
We went out on the Gulf of St. Lawrence in a Zodiac to whale watch. Not only did we have Pilot Whales all over the place but the bumpy ride out to where they were was like a carnival ride. I LOVED IT. It was also  great to see this awesome coastline from the sea. It was guaranteed, no whales, you get your money back but it was $78 well spent.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Then we hopped on the scenic drive, took a thousand pictures  and headed back to camp to take pictures of the fantastic sunset. Something odd about being on the east coast and being able to watch the sun set over the ocean.
We are now camped in St. John, New Brunswick. Can't tell you all how much we miss everybody. Since we have a new grandbaby on the way we have been talking about how we will probably change up our future plans. After we figure it out we'll let you know.
