On the road in Atlantic Canada

…and searching for summer.

After ALIA ended the family and I went down to The Shire, near Yarmouth for three days of hanging out with good friends from the Art of Hosting community, the Berkana Institute and the Split Rock Learning Centre.  Our program consisted entirely to mastering the idea of pacing.  We paced ourselves so well, that time itself slipped away.  Matt cooked brilliant food, and there was music everywhere.

Following that, one night at Windhorse Farm near Bridgewater Nova Scotia and then on to Charlottetown last night.  We are now firmly ensconced in Rob Paterson’s barn, lolling around and enjoying a late morning, before we head into town to catch the Canada Day festivities.

We’re hoping for some decent beach weather while we’re here, but is has been cold and raining for a month.  That ought not to discourage us though.
