Our new home

When we woke up this morning to more cold and rain, I wondered what we were doing...miss home already, but I worked on adjusting my attitude as we drove for another 5 hours to our new home. I have to say I had to work on that as we have had quite the time setting up our new phone for emergencies in Canada. Verizon doesn't work here so wifi only will be used for Skype and I hope by tomorrow we can work thru this phone set up thing...( you see you have to phone in to set it up and trying to explain we had no phone was quite hilarious)

The campground is much more remote than in the brochure pictures ( brasdorlakescampground.com ) and very quiet. The managers Patsy and Pat, are from here and are very welcoming and laid back. We spent the early evening scoping out our new little town of Baddeck which is really lovely...small town, Maine coast feel without any development and few tourists...There is a great fish market on the wharf, nice shops and a coop grocery store. Also several outfitters for kayak, Puffin watches and sailing tours...Lots to see and do.

There should be sun on Wednesday so I will take pictures of home then, but here are a couple of shots of the Baddeck lighthouse and a tall ship going by.

 

also couldn't resist taking a picture of this terrier on a cycle we met at a gas station...Made me smile:)
