My email is a little wonky, and hasn't actually received anything since Friday morning. Just FYI.

I was writing up a post about our weekend away, but it got pretty dull. Suffice it to say that Nova Scotia is very pretty, especially the Annapolis Valley and the area around Digby and Digby Neck. It also is not heavily touristed, because people from Halifax tend to go to the South Shore (closer), and people coming in from Yarmouth drive up the South Shore to Halifax; Digby is kind of on the back end of Nova Scotia. As we drive thorugh one charming seaside village after another, we indulged in the fantasy life, in which BH gets a job in Halifax, we sell our house in Oxford, and buy a flat in town and a little summer house out on the coast. Wishful thinking, I fear -- my bank won't even give me a credit card yet, because I am an Unreliable Foreigner.

Anyway, among the highlights were ( the Annapolis County fair and expo )

The point of the exercise, though, was ( whale-watching off Digby Neck )

All in all, a very good break. Especially if you like scallops, which Digby is famous for. Scallops for breakfast, scallops for dinner... mmm. Scallops.
