Chéticamp, Cape Breton Island

Awoke to a cloudy, drizzly day. Our first stop was at a Farmer's Market in Mabou, home of the Rankin Family. The Market had the usual wares but in Cape Breton fashion there was also music by two guitarists. Next was a whisky tasting at Glenora Distillery, North America's first single malt whisky. An l/2 ounce tasting of a 10 and 15 year old cost JS $15. It was more expensive than Scotland! For those who care, JS reports that it tasted like a Speyside scotch.

Our home tonight is a beautiful, waterfront inn on the Cabot Trail.Read more
