LOW DOWNOur first trip together. We rented an 1830 farmhouse off the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. It was the perfect isolation we needed to remove all the stresses of NYC. Nestled among trees, the house is surrounded by fields of wild blueberries, although it was too late in the summer to bear fruits. Eagles flew overhead. We had a young male moose visit the front window one morning. The house was close to trails; taking you through woods, to fresh ponds, to sandy beaches, to rocky beaches with a myriad of shells and rocks of all colors. Our days were spent hiking, canoeing, swimming, picking flowers and moss, and exploring Cape Breton and all it's remarkable natural beauty.
DAYS: 3 weeks in late August 2007
