Well as some of you may know, I recently returned back to the states from an amazing trip the wonderful, duh duh duh duhnnn NOVA SCOTIA.  It was absolutely wonderful!  The places I went, the people I saw and met.  I had an exquisite  time.  Here are some highlights from my trip....

Busker Festival, where I met this awesome man!  

Many nights in Halifax, with friends!  How could you not love this city!?

Days at Rainbow Haven beach!  With the fog rolling in!  

Jake and I went to the most quaint little eatery in Mahon Bay for our anniversary.  Followed by the wonderful Lunenberg! 

Jake purchased a longboard while I was visiting.  This picture was taken at the Ferry Launch.  The ferry was going to P.E.I.  

I loved watching him learn to curve.  I was a bit afraid though.  More for his pride than anything, there where about 50 cars all parked in a line waiting for the ferry, and he was long boarding along side them all.  If he were to wipe out, everyone would have seen!  

Jake and I went to a wonderful event entitled "Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City".  It was hosted by Doctors Without Borders.  It was incredibly eyeopening and challenging.  This is a toy from a refugee camp.  Hand-made.  The tour guides all had been abroad and worked at refugee camps, and brought things to show us.  No matter what, with how little or how ever much you have, DO SOMETHING to help impact the world in a positive way, fight hunger, fight HIV/AIDs, sponsor a child, fight thirst, fight abandonment, fight slavery, fight depression/suicide, give someone a chance to succeed, get informed.

... and the wonderful P.E.I. ....

and many many more to come!!!

Prince Edward Island

P.E.I.

P.E.I. 

{Charlotte Town in specific}

is such a wonderful place! 

So much character in all the homes, the red sand, the handmade wool sweaters, the home of Cows Ice cream, and Anne of Green Gables.  We really had quite the adventure. We took the ferry to get there, and took the bridge home. On this quant little island, I found that I felt secluded from the whole rest of the world. The old-fashioned homes, the brick walk ways, the chill pace of everyone I saw around me.  They say that the best chefs in the world are in P.E.I. and I must say that every place I went, the food was unreal.  One thing I wish I could have done while on my short trip; ride an old vintage bike all around town.  If you get the chance, check P.E.I. out, {preferably in the spring, summer, or fall}.

I just love Halifax so much (which is the capital of the province Nova Scotia)!!!  The vibe here is just fantastic!!!  The city is very artsy and diverse. I have also had the amazing privilege of being able to travel around this wonderful province!  Here are some pictures from some of my adventures while I have been here!
