Hello again...

I left PEI today to Cape Breton Highlands National Park back in Nova Scotia. What I have seen so far... wow! Now I hope the fog will disappear by tomorrow morning and I can go on hikes and actually SEE all the views. For the last hour I was driving through really bad fog, couldn't see anything and it made it seem like the end of the world.  But I found the hostel, surprisingly with internet access :)

The hostel guy emailed me to fill the tank with gas and by food before entering the National Park - there is really nothing up here. So... I went into this CoOp grocery store in the "village" - was surprised to suddenly see so many people since I haven't seen many cars for hours driving - and then... they all speek French here!? They are "Acadians"- didn't know about them  before, like I never heard of the Bluenose.... still lots to learn about Canada!

Next day was sunny and I saw the road I was driving along the day before

What's going on in Germany? Vancouver? I heard on the radio that I missed Schwarzenegger in Vancouver!

Night,Barbara
