Annapolis Royal, Humpback Whales, & Chased By A Hurricane

It’s time to return to the Maritimes! As I mentioned in our last post, we’re finding our way back to ‘normal.’ Part of that means catching up on our travel-related posts before we start roaming again.

The Magic Of Cape Breton Island: Nova Scotia

In Search Of Puffins: Into The Maritimes

Every year, just for fun, I choose a few critters that I would like to see in our travels. In 2019, on my wishlist were Green Kingfishers (success in South Texas!), Atlantic Puffins, and moose.
