Approaching Baddeck, NS, where our hotel was, as well as where the Matt Andersen concert was held.
We found a dirt road close to the hotel, so we explored a little. The sights were so beautiful.
Posing with Alexander Graham Bell, and his wife, Mabel (Hubbard) Bell. They were from the Baddeck area, so this monument was put up to honor them.
Baddeck Harbour, alongside the Bras d'or Lake. The Amoeba sits in dock. Tourists can board this sailboat to tour the Bras d'or Lake.
The view from the 'lookout deck' that was situated on the roof, the floor above our hotel room.
Chris calls the front desk to 'rescue' us after we realized we were locked outside on the lookout deck..and no other way off it but the locked door.
The view from our window-seat table at the Bell Buoy Restaurant - home of overpriced and discriminatory menu items.
David and Barry, with wives Patricia and Margaret - our new friends and fellow Matt fans. David and Barry own the Halifax Spice company and had met Matt while he entertained the crowd at the Saltscapes East Coast Expo. Great people :)
More new friends - Margie, Gerard, Becca and Darrell from Glace Bay. They follow Matt as well.
Matt Andersen with the Hupman Brothers on stage at the Inverary Inn Convention Centre for the Celtic Colors. A phenomenal show!
Breakfast at the Yellow Cello Cafe - and discovered internet access, to Chris' delight.
Beautiful scenery along the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton, NS.
And some more...
So they will know we were here...a self-portrait in front of the beautiful scenery :)
Mary Ann Falls, National Park in the Cabot Trail. It was beautiful there.
Here I try to show some perspective of the vast hills. It's hard to show it digitally. Every bump in that colorful landscape is a full-sized tree.
Another self-portrait.
Kiwanis Park in Truro, NS, minutes away from Chris' grandparents' home. There is a huge pond there, and dozens and dozens of ducks.
