Back from Nova Scotia

Well, I am back from my wonderful trip to Nova Scotia. It was an incredible adventure and this post is sort of a summing up of what when down in the maritime province during the past week. I would have posted everyday after each adventure while I was there, but the Wi-Fi network did not work at the place where we were staying. Which was actually fine by me, because the lack of Internet brought me that much closer to actually finishing Gone with the Wind (all 1037 pages...). So without further ado here is a quick recap of my week in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. 

 It was a long drive from St. Andrews that pretty much consisted of woods and more woods and being the only car with US plates on the road. Finally after 6 or 7 hours in the car (I can't remember which one) we arrived at Second Paradise Retreat in Lunenburg Nova Scotia. Here is their website so you can check them out and see what an amazing place it is.

It is an area of 27 acres right on the water. They have 7 llamas, a boat house, a big farm house with individual rooms, a loft, and two cabins. My mom and I stayed in the "Blue cottage". It was a wonderful little cottage with everything one could possibly need. The name Second Paradise is spot on because it is paradise indeed.Here is a picture:

 
Every morning we woke up to these views:






Aren't those ugly? Most definitely.      (I'm being sarcastic if you didn't catch it)


Here is my room:
 

So that is a pretty comprehensive look at where it was we were staying. Now I will move on to our adventures day by day, but since I do not want to make the longest post in Blogger history, I'm going to break it down my post. That way everyday will be more exciting and hopefully not painfully boring. Thanks!

  1. Thanks so much for the vicarious vacation. That Blue Cottage was an excellent choice.

  2. Yes, it was! Our hosts were Katharina & Ralph Jost who are Swiss. The most important thing to them is to keep a very light carbon footprint on this earth which is explained on their website. The peace and serenity that came with being there for a week is something that Annie and I will have with us forever!
