I love being able to drive when travelling, and I'm loving travelling with A. We both love things like stupid roadsigns and beautiful lakes, so while driving along blaring Gwen Stefani we both point and laugh at things and stop the car to get out and take pictures. I've never travelled like this before, and I'm loving it. The freedom to go where we want, when we want. It's awesome.
Today we drove to Peggy's Cove, which is very justifiably listed in a million places as one of the prettiest places in Canada. It was surreal to see a tourist attraction that wasn't jammed up with tourist booths. There was one jewelry shop; one ice cream stand; and one art gallery. Other than that, it was just gorgeous. Sitting up on the rocks, cool wind blowing, sun shining, the ocean in front of me: THIS is what I travel for. I haven't felt that peace since Australia. And this is in my own country!
I'd upload a photo to go with this but I lost my freaking camera case along the way so now I have to go out and hunt down a new camera cord. But at least I didn't lose the camera itself.
Tomorrow we're taking a ferry over to Prince Edward Island, I'm excited to check out Cavendish Beach and the red red sands.
