Home again, home again

If there's a part of the Nova Scotia coastline that isn't beautiful beyond words, I haven't seen it. The Eastern Shore is, I think, the part to go to for lovely sandy beaches -- these huge crescents of fine silver sand. It's the kind of place which is described as "wild" and "unspoiled" in tourist brochures, and not without reason -- a heavily populated part of it would be a dozen houses clinging to the shoreline.
And I think it's the longest distance I've ever driven in Canada without passing a Tim Hortons (with the possible exception of 11 between Nipigon and Hearst -- but then, there's hardly anything on 11 between Nipigon and Hearst), and although I mock its ubiquity, I would have been happy enough to see one this morning, when we drove for about an hour and a quarter before finding a place to eat breakfast.
