Arrived in Halifax late this afternoon and it's time for our second player exchange - Jonathan flies home and Jenn arrives tomorrow. Nova Scotia is named for new Scotland - today we found out why. Lots of hills. We spent much of the day going either 5mph (up) or 20mph (down). And they don't average out to 12mph (do the math). Went through some beautiful oceanside towns - mahone bay, Chester, Hubbards (where Mark became invisible, with both jonathans biking right by him, and us getting separated/lost on a road with no turnoffs). Arrived with a shock to the sprawl/generic stores of Halifax burbs, but downtown is really nice. Roads more crowded today, and lots more businesses. I think people are willing to drive 90 minutes from Halifax, but no more. Coincidentally the length of your average romantic-action-comedy movie. Too bad, as there are some beautiful spots further away. Perhaps when global warming submerges parts of the US, and makes the rest uninhabitable, Nova Scotia will be warmer and it will be developed. 63.6 miles, plus 2.5 miles doubling back and forth in Hubbards.

Perhaps you lost Mark when he went off trail to take a leak! He's been known to get lost on hiking trails too. See you in a couple of hours!
