We decided to head back to the states today. There was still a lot we haven’t seen but we
are ready to get to telephone coverage.
The main thing left in Nova Scotia is a 5 hour drive around the northern
coastline. We have seen a LOT of
coastline on this trip and we are not really interested. The other thing is Prince Edward Island. We would need to go back to New Brunswick and
take a bridge to that island. We have
been told that it is also a lot of coastline and I am sure there is a lot to
see but we decided to pass. We thought
that in a few years we might fly to New Foundland, rent a car and tour it and
Prince Edward Island. Not this
trip. Today is James’ birthday and he
got “happy birthday” wishes via text from DeLyn, Sarah and Stacey. He doesn’t feel another year older (or at
least that is what he said.) As we got
on the road we found the sign announcing that spot was “half way between the
equator and North Pole.” Naturally we
had to stop and have stupid pictures made.
As we drove out of Nova Scotia, headed to St. John, the GPS found a
STARBUCKS. I couldn’t believe it – it
was in the same bookstore (Chapters) that we found heading INTO Nova
Scotia. This was the one with the
carnival and we took in our camera. I
just have to include some pictures to show everybody that this was a LARGE
carnival – permanent – even with a roller coaster.
As we “landed for the night in St. John, we
ate at a neat “western style” steakhouse.
It even had the front end of a car in the rafters. Leaving there we saw another rainbow which
was assurance that we were headed in the right direction.
Back at the hotel in St. John I got a text
from Stacey about Ally’s school experience.
Her first day of school was last Wednesday but they have a “staggered”
attendance the first week for the kids in kindergarten. She only went last Wednesday and then went
back today for the first day of a full week.
Stacey said that Ally loved school and was upset that she couldn’t go every
day last week! I hope she keeps that enthusiasm.
