Pollett's Cove Backpacking Trip

Pollett's Cove Backpacking Trip

Between September’s travels to Montreal and autumn’s school schedule Mom & I were able to squeeze in a long weekend backpacking adventure in the Cape Breton Highlands.

September update: my Montreal trip, a time of solitude, folk festival and building project videos

It's still summer & saunas

A new video has been uploaded to YouTube. In it we visit Sand Dollar Beach and marvel at the marine wildlife, I give a tour of our entry and clean a bookshelf (I hope it's more interesting than it sounds). You'll get a peek into my herbal apothecary, watch us (my dad) build the sauna deck, and we'll go to the blueberry patch together.

I know to be suspect of things that are too good to be true. Also, that fairy tales aren’t real. But this summer, as we’d say in grad school, "is challenging those narratives".

It has been an unbelievable landing and arrival here. The briefest of days soaked rich with summer, meaning, and import. I can’t say the days will only get better from here because, honestly, this has been a week of highlights. But I do know that Oilers playoffs aside, living here will regularly bring me into contact with magic.
