We're back from our Nova Scotia trip with some happy news...Marc proposed while on a hike at Cape Split (kind of ironic, I know) in Nova Scotia..see google maps link. I said yes! Here's a pic of us just after the proposal. In the interim, Marc has made me a ring out of birch bark (a Finnish tradition) and at the proposal site, he used a piece of grass/wheat...so we'll see what the real thing ends up looking like. We had such a great week on our vacation. We drove from Ottawa to Truro, Nova Scotia on Day 1 (14 days) and spent the rest of the week zipping around the province. We went from Annapolis Royal to Lunenburg to Halifax and then on up to Cape Breton Island. It was gorgeous weather and such a beautiful part of Canada. Hope you enjoy our pics from the trip.

A Week with Danny and Leona
Marc's mom and brother came from Winnipeg to visit us for a week. We spent some time at a cottage belonging to our neighbour's Dave and Shirl, swimming, hiking and eating well. We then took a ferry tour of the Thousand Islands, and had dinner at Chez Piggy in Kingston. The rest of the week we spent visiting, looking at pictures and topped it off with dinner at Il Vagabondo with Val and Paul and then gambling at the casino. Danny managed to take home some dough. Marc and I got sucked in and lost. We had a great time...click here for pics.
