Arichat

Arichat, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

About a week ago we returned from a wonderful trip to Nova Scotia, the area from which my family emanated in North America. I have heard about Nova Scotia my entire life, and always had a desire to travel there. A few years ago, Pam, my wife, had indicated her interest in going to Nova Scotia to see the Bay of Fundy. Not altogether on a whim, but pretty close, we decided to head off to Canada. Aside from a broken airplane in Minneapolis and fears of not making connections, which would have probably meant staying in the airport or other accommodations at La Guardia, and keeping our fingers crossed that the remnants of Tropical Storm Gabrielle would not delay our return, we had a grand time. I managed to take about 3,000 photographs while in Nova Scotia and the process of going through them all will be a little daunting. Here is a sample of what we experienced…taken from the lower road in Arichat along the old and no longer functioning harbour.
