Arrivals and Departures.  Today its departures.  We left ILM (Wilmington, NC) early this morning for Halifax, via Philadelphia.  The connections were good and we arrived in Nova Scotia early this afternoon, picked up our rented Toyota Camry and headed for Cape Breton.  The weather - wind and rain.  Halfway to our destination of Cheticamp, the forward motion was stopped by an apparent serious accident.  We sat in our Camry for 1.5 hours.  Fire trucks, ambulances, police vehicles all passed by to attend to this (we still don't know what happened) event.

We arrived at our hotel at 8:30 PM.  Chiticamp was dark, the hotel was dark.  After a period of time, we were able to contact someone from the hotel.  Loraine explained that the power was down in Cheticamp.  She provided us with a latern and the key to our room.  I asked her if there was anywhere we could get something to eat.  In the dark, she prepared two lobster rolls and two cokes for us.  After having a lantern lit dinner, we went to bed early.  The power came back about 3:00 am.

On Sunday we will attend a performance as part of the Celtic Colours Festival here on Cape Breton.
