The Scotia
Packed up for the trip, but let's face it. We all know I'm leaving something important behind. There's no getting around it. Luckily, as I tell myself most times I travel, I'm not going to a third world country, and most everything I need will most likely also be waiting for me in N. Scotia. On another fun note, today I was reading twitter on one of my packing breaks, and @librarybeth tweeted from the National Writing Project Summer Institute about a conversation they were having about some work I did on critical literacy and social narratives. This really made my day and made me feel even more committed to the writing projects I've been working on this summer. Of course vacation to Scotia's going to break up the work plan, but that's okay. Phyllis Korkki says, "To Stay On Schedule, Take a Break." Anyway, the point of all this is: Twitter is the best thing ever invented. I wish I could live tweet my vacation, but I'm not sure I can tweet in other countries. I'll find out. Just keep calm and carry on.

Have seen this week 2 live vibrant harbor seals, and then today we saw a dead harbor seal on the beach. Neil told us "He took a bullet in him."
"What? Who shot him?"
"Well he's no friend to the fisherman."
"So they killed him?"
They did. He's about 600 pounds. If he's alive, he's messing with the nets, following after the mackerel.
Geez. That shook us up a bit. Later we went on a 5 mile windy hike that felt like a hurricane. Kind of exhilarating. Back in the car, we saw 2 moose. So beautiful.
We hiked to skyline trail. Windiest place on the planet. Almost died from wind. But the views of the St. Lawrence. so stunning. And then the 2 moose once we got back into the car. just felt really happy all day.

It might end up on the blog, let's face it. This stuff is pretty fascinating.
Today we had a long drive to Halifax and then we visited the Nova Scotia Art Gallery. Cool exhibits there.
We must wake at 5am to head to the airport tomorrow. Will be so good to be home, and I have loved Nova Scotia.
