from the cape... Breton that is

What do the following have in common?

Ingonish, Dingwall, Baddeck, Cheticamp, Margaree.

These are the great names of some of the communities that we visited while in Cape Breton.

We camped in Baddeck and took day trips to visit the Louisbourg Fortress and around the Cabot Trail and the Highland National Park. The road had some interesting and renowned twists, turns, ups and downs and absolutely fantastic views. We drove it clockwise so that I could enjoy the trip without holding on to the Oh Poop handle too much and then Jack could enjoy it also.:-).

By the By… on our first night on the island we had our Breton crackers and home made antipasto. Thanks to the dinner group gang. The Eyewitness travel book on Canada has been excellent for information and reminding us of you all especially by way of the posit notes that pop up as we are reading. ( I think Carol put those in).

We attended a ceilidh (Kay-lee)… Hmm not sure if I should share what this is or leave it as a surprise when you all get to visit here if you haven’t already.

I will put some pictures on when I can.. We are on our way to Newfoundland..
