Cape Breton

Nancy drove most of the day in the rail. The sun would come out for a minute and tease us. Again we took roads that ran along the water. We saw beautifully colored trees (finally had a high tide) and water crashing against the rocks but it was so gray we hardly took any pictures. It got colder as the day progressed. Nancy was fine with the cold but I was freezing. I bought 2 more sweatshirts (I have many at home). We are staying in Cape North(two t.v. stations) no coffee pot) which is almost at the top of Cape Breton Island. There are 2 motels, 2 B&B, 1 restaurant, 1 sm. grocery store, and a few homes. We drove to Bay of St. Lawrence, the highest point in Cape Breton. There was nothing these. Then we drove to Dingwall. It had a small cafe so we split a pizza for supper. We didn't walk today.Tomorrow is suppose to be 40 degrees with wind but if its not rainy there are many trails down the east coast that we want to do. Middle Head Trail behind the Keltic Lodge is the trail we really want to do. We needed gas so we ask a man and he said that it was 1/2 click down the street. Anyone know what that means?
As we drove today we noticed that the rock formations changed. Many were boulders, then others were like big flat rocks. We drove out to Cheticamp Island. Down a wet, clay road to the east end we saw Enrage Lighthouse. The lighthouse come in various sizes depending on where they are but they're always red and white. Maine lighthouses are much taller, don't know why.
Facts: no rye bread here, gravy on french fries, no crackers for soup, great ham, different tasting sausage, speed limits seems to change more often than ours (it's still scarey to see speed signs saying 100 (52 for us)
