I have not been very good about keeping up with this, even worse with the pictures.
We spent 2 days in the Breton Highlands. The Moutainview motel was rather spartan, especially after the Basejour in Moncton, which was relatively nice. However, the Highlands were pretty nice. We stopped for lunch in Judique at a "Celtic Interpretive Center" on the way up. Unfortunately we just caught the very end of the live music, but everyone was friendly. We had a light lunch and drove on. One thing we noticed as we got into the Park area was that gas stations were relatively limited and we had to keep an eye on the gauge because it might be 30 miles or more to the next one.
I actually got up for sunrise and might have gotten some good shots of the warm morning light shining up on to some high clouds. It was pretty cool.
That night we ate at the Artisanal in Cheticamp which advertised Acadian cooking. Martha had a meat pie that she said was tasty, I had the fried haddock which they served with grilled onions and peas and carrots. We each had "blueberry pudding with hot sauce" which was pretty good. It had the consistency of a thick blueberry pancake and was served with a brown caramel sauce that wasn't too sweet. We left pretty stuffed. If we were to come again, we would stay in Cheticamp rather than Pleasant Bay because there is more to do.

It was a long wet ride down to Queensland, just south and west of Halifax. We stayed at the Surfside Inn which is right on the coast. Did a little touring the first day, but didn't take many pictures. Second day we went to Peggys Cove which has a lot of potential and is major tourist draw with 4 or 5 buses coming in while we were there. However, the light was gloomy and overcast and it was crowded.
I did some shooting, but nothing to get excited about.We ate at the Inn tonight. Good food, very pleasant meal and then could just walk upstairs. Tomorrow we will hit Lunenberg. The following day we start for home and need to be at the ferry in Yarmouth by 3. It will get us to Portland by about 9. We plan to eat on the Ferry. The hotel in Portland in the HoJo's we stayed at earlier. Up early and drive home on Friday. Big concern is hitting NY at the wrong time.
I will post pictures when we get home. The laptop processes them really slowly.
