Nova Scotia has always been one of those places I thought I'd get to one day, but since it hasn't happened yet I'm glad to get a small glimpse of it from you.
Glad I could show you a bit (granted, a small bit) of it.
I've always loved anything having to do with the sea--the history, especially. I'm one of, oh, I don't know, at least 4 people in the world who has Moby Dick on my list of favorite books!
Call me.... pkondz. I'm ashamed to admit that it's one of the few classics that either I haven't read...
or it's been such a long time that I don't remember reading it.
Probably the former.
Something I really should rectify, no?
I hadn't been anywhere near the ocean in far too long but was able to swing a 4 day trip to Cape Cod back in May. It was windy and chilly (sound familiar?)
Oh, yes. I didn't mention it, but Peggy's Cove was very windy.
I asked a local if it was always like this. Her answer?
"Oh, no. Not always. Well, usually, yes."
I'd love to see Cape Cod.
but we had a wonderful time anyway, especially the day we went whale watching. No white ones spotted, but we saw many humpback, Minke and fin whales, and it was totally worth it even though we just about froze despite the bright sunshine!
I bet it was worth it! That would be awesome.
Where I used to live, we'd get thousands of whales just off shore on any given day in the summer.
Belugas mind you, not anywhere near as large as a Fin!
That must have been something! How close did you get?
So glad you decided to keep writing! Now I'm wondering what's next. Ponzi goes to Tim Hortons?? Just speculating about what kind of donut you would eventually choose would probably add a good 5-6 pages to your report!!![]()
