Going North

We are having a very difficult time find computers. Most of the motels don't have them, no internet cafes.
It rained most of the night and most of the day. "Riding the Tide" was not in the works for us today because of the rain and day. Do this means going out in a zodiak at low tide, waiting for the high tide to come in, and then riding the waves. It is more fun than white water rafting. We had to change our plans. We picked back roads, mostly were maintanced ones. The roads went up the mts. and then into the valley and it was my time to drive. Driving in the rain on windy roads was tiring. We had no sun therefore no pictures. It was hard to see the roads with the rain and the mist from the other cars. I was glad when we stopped for lunch and Nancy started driving. We stopped at the visitor center when we got to Cape Breton. They made a reservations for us at Inverness Lodge, waterview--we though this was going to be super. Well--when we got there around 4 our image was squelched. Couldn't see the water. We drove down to the boardwalk near the beach. We couldn't get to the beach because there was 6-7 foot cliffs down to it. We finally found one entrance to the beach. It was covered with rocks- good thing we had shoes on. We didn't really how lucky we were to have such beatiful beaches.
For those of you that know me will know I love hamburgers. But no more for me. The beef taste so different, evidently not their best meat. The best food we've had was pan fried haddock--it was delicious. On one of our back street, we saw probably 100 Cana. geese rest from their flight south. I scared them so they took off flying. Got a great picture of that! Not edited.
