Spent some time in Baddeck on Cape Breton. Took a hike to a waterfall and despite the attacking coyotes, we made it there and back. Were advised to carry a stick tho for protection. Half way to the water fall we met two men coming in the opposite direction. They looked at our sticks and gave us theirs instead. They actually brought these sticks from Ottawa, apparently beaver chewed (but I couldn't see evidence of that) and shelaced to a smooth finish. Mine also had a leather handle complete with beads - and they just GAVE the sticks to us. They did come in handy though as the trail was quite rocky. The waterfall was lovely. We hiked back and the men were gone. Later that night we searched the town to return the walking sticks and luckily found them although they were surprised that we were returning them.
You never tire of the ocean. Drove up to Cheticamp an old Acadian town and the scenery was beautiful. It was a fabulously sunny day, although so windy it rocked the car as I drove. Wished we had time to do the entrie Cabot Trail, but our days are now numbered.
