I promised I would post photos of the summer, so here they are.
 |
| Peggy's Cove in May when Nathan's parents were visiting (and I was, too) :) |
More Peggy's Cove. What a sweet town.
One of my favourite parts of the trip. We went to the Swissair flight memorial, Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg all in one day, with a stop in Chester. This was in Mahone Bay, and I got to go in and look around. Dream job material, right here!
 |
| A light supper we had one evening, Nathan and I. Delicious! |
 |
| This was in...somewhere...Point Pleasant Park, I think. |
 |
| We made a stop in Wolfville to the Just Us fair trade coffee roaster, Tangled Garden herb garden, and home to Acadia University- beautiful! |
 |
| This is the place whose name I can never remember. I want to say Barry's Bay but I think that's near Ottawa. ;) (Nathan??) |
 |
| This was called Evangeline Bay, I believe. I just really like this photo from behind of Nathan and his mom and dad at the Bay of Fundy. We found some pretty sweet rocks here. |
 |
| My dear friend Lisa was visiting for a couple days from Israel and I got to visit with her while her husband was at the university. |
 |
| My new birthday haircut I treated myself to. Magazine photo-shoot-ready, naturally. ;) |
 |
| In July, I got to meet Nathan's brother and sister-in-law, and we went to Peggy's Cove again. (Can you tell they are brothers??) :) I took the train to Halifax and back and had a delightful trip. |

 |
| Lunenburg, second time. We were here at a decent hour when things were open, which was a bit more relaxing. A period drama was being filmed while we were there, complete with 50s automobiles- pretty fun. Lunenburg was special to visit, as my parents went there for their first anniversary and ever since I knew that, I've been wanting to check it out. It's home to the Bluenose II (under restoration when we were there). |
 |
| The Annapolis Valley, from a high-up lookout |
 |
| This was on a hike the four of us took at a place whose name I regrettably forget. It was beautiful, though! |
 |
| It was the Tall Ships festival in Halifax, and I got this photo of Renee and Jake in front of a ship. It was so great hanging out with them for the week. |
 |
| As part of the festival, Parks Canada had a booth (for 1812 stuff) where they did airbrushing tattoos (you could choose from four from that time period). We all four got them. This, I learned, is called a compass rose. Isn't it pretty? |
 |
| This is in London when Nathan came to visit in August. We were celebrating our one-year dating anniversary and this is the day Nathan left to go back. :( We went to Stratford and saw two plays in one day, which was magnificent. |
So there you have it, the summer in a nutshell.
More to come...

looks like a great summer! I'm so glad that we had a chance to visit :) ps - noticed that you have Miriam Toews on your list - have you read her "A boy of good breeding"? It's great!
Yes, I have! I've read all her fiction so far and can't decide which I love best. Have you read Irma Voth? I should really update that list. ;) It was great to visit with you, too! Miss you!
Awe, one year already! Loved your picture post. Awesome that you got to travel a little this summer.
Excellent trips all around! :) Oh, and the place whose name you can't recall is Hall's Harbour. ;)
Oh, and the place where we hiked was Cape Split. ;)
