It's Only Up From Here

First off I want give a sincere Thank You to everyone who made the trip to Canada great and who supported and showed up to my party. Took a bit to get there, but the trip was thoroughly enjoyed and seeing/ spending time with you all made my summer (and it isn't even over yet.) Where to next? well you will just have to stay tuned! You mean no 5 o'clock traffic? The blueberries weren't out yet, but at least these guys were around Just something about a country lifestyle that makes you happy It was all gone so fast  When you realize afterwards that you didn't photograph your food Looking a little thirsty I was... pretty stoked to see a few bees buzzing

Peggy's Cove was nice and all, but we couldn't stop there... we had to drive down the coast just a little more The 3 churches of Mahone Bay standing tall Next was Lunenburg. Which surprising made me feel as if I was back in Europe. The history, the architecture of some of the buildings and just the setup of the town around the harbour It would turn out to be a pretty sunny day The terrain was more hilly than I had imagined The colorful houses give off such a positive vibe Unfortunately we missed the Bluenose Old Canadian Flag dates the ship  Memorials such as these were a surprising sight A view of Lunenburg  I highly recommend checking out the UNESCO town and, if you have time, be sure to get some fish and chips from the harbour

Mom said we had to come here.. I can say firsthand that it was worth the drive. So many scenic views as we drove the coastline. I honestly didn't think it would be so beautiful. They say Minnesota has 10,000 lakes... check this place out Any Cove's out there that need discovering? Peek-a-bo I [almost] see you Europe still has me in love with churches Turn your head sideways for a new persective Add caption O say can you see Worth each minute I spent lying on the rock Knowing millions of years are at work here.. humbling And yet.. people play on black rocks smh Sometimes the best pictures surprise us A picture is worth a million words

Finally back! Summer 2k16 has truly begun After quite the experience in Toronto's Customs and meeting my steps goal for the day after all the walking I did at that airport we had our first layover.  We ate lunch with the Habs and French Canadians, heard the news of the Subban trade to Nashville (they will be dangerous next season) and then took the last leg of the flight to Halifax Tiring would be an understatement, but it was worth it, and I must say that after stepping foot in all those different places and for me personally spending time in a french first world; even if I could go back I wouldn't have traded it for a longer flight.. If anything I would have wanted a longer layover. In Canada for Canada Day It amazes me how the brain works over the long run; remembering somethings while discarding others. Just a little bit of time back in a place seems to bring so much back to memory and create a sense of normality again.
