Well time is up and only three entries came in for the contest. They were: 1327 kilometers from Trish, 1500 kilometers from Jay and 1997 kilometers from Donna (via email). The actual kilometers driven - get this – 3447. (Nova Scotia isn’t as small as you might think!) SOOO… no guesses all that close, but Donna is the winner. She is a double winner because she leaves for the Maritimes in 6 days!!
The blog thing has been fun and I wouldn’t hesitate doing it again, or encouraging any of you to try it, especially for a vacation ‘journal’. It’s extra fun knowing that people are, in a way, traveling with you, and again I thank my faithful commenters.
I am now working on a photo album of the trip and hope to share it with some of you who have already been on part of the journey.
I would encourage anyone to visit this part of Canada. I have to say that I came back home somehow feeling more “Canadian”, if that makes any sense. I will never again think about Acadian culture, Celtic music, fishing villages, or even Anne of Green Gables in the same way. Our Canadian heritage and culture is so much broader than our western cities or prairie life. It’s always a bonus to see and feel one more part of it.

WOW! I guess I was way off! Oh well, I have my fresh clean air to breathe in anytime I want to feel like I was there! I wonder if Cale will share his lobster and Bud the Spud book with me?
Wendy is now officially the winner after having kept her promise to bring back the sea air!

Thanks for all the dedication in sharing such a wonderful part of our country so eloquently and faithfully. It was definitely worth sharing in the "joy of the journey" with the two of you.
Still looking forward to the "final" design of the new Sawatzky deck. Will it be Noah's Ark-ish...low and "trap-like", or full of arbors, or was it "harbors"?
