Eastern Cabot Trail

After 3 nights in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, we moved to a private campground at Englishtown for the next 4 nights. We traveled the eastern portion of the Cabot Trail, beginning our day at the Gaelic College of Celtic Arts and Crafts. They're doing much to maintain the Gaelic language, skills such as piping and dance, and to provide a venue for education about all things Gaelic for the general public. We toured the Hall of the Clans and learned more about our ancestors, both in Scotland and in the New World. Great time! (It was rainy but we don't let that stop us most days!)

We hiked several times during the day, mostly looking for another elusive geocache.
We stopped for a few moments at the Keltic Lodge, a ritzy $400/night (meals included) place. We didn't stay long, but it was beautiful and the grounds were especially pretty.

The real joy of the day was dinner! We had noticed a sign on the volunteer fire department of a small town through which we passed, advertising an "all you can eat" crab leg meal for the cost of $18. That included tea and strawberry shortcake for dessert. We didn't count how many we ate, but here's a fact: they lost money on us! It was a perfect cap on a lovely day!
