Toronto would be great, especially at the end of this month, ilyekkakai.

My family owned property on Cape Breton, Nova Scotia for years, relatives lived out there and so on. It’s stunningly beautiful, no doubt about it. KarubaLuna could certainly fill you in on the charms of the west coast, as could Logan I’m sure. I would say that Vancouver offers cosmopolitan charms and attractions combined with easy access to the super natural beauties of rural B.C., whereas N.S. and Halifax are a bit less, um, worldly. Seeing them both, though, would be well worth your while.

Which reminds me of an interesting story (actually it’s a bit long and kind of dull). One of my overly herbalised friends made the coast to coast trek a couple of summers back. Having spent time in Nova Scotia, he stopped off in iStanario for a bit of sanity and civilisation before continuing westward. He raved about the Maritimes and how spectacular it was to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic. Then he gleefully exclaimed that he was thrilled by the fact that he was going to be able the watch the sun rise over both the Atlantic and the Pacific in one summer. A neat trick if you can do it, given that the sun generally rises in the east and the Pacific is found to the west of B.C.

Okay, I’ll go back to sleep now.
