Celtic Colors

Celtic Colors is an annual festival held in Cape Breton every October.  It offers music, art, food and so much more.  It's exciting for us to live so close that we can easily travel there to partake in everything.  We booked our campsite in the beautiful Margaree Valley near Baddeck which is centrally located to the concerts we prepaid to see, loaded up the car, hitched up the little camper trailer and headed up for 9 days of festival.  The campsite was next to a beautiful lake in a valley surrounded by mountains and the fall colors were magical.

 
 
  



Friday was a beautiful day so we decided to take the day and drive around the Cabot Trail to admire the colors.  We were not disappointed.  The Cabot Trail is magnificent at the best of times but seeing it in the fall was amazing.  Tourism Nova Scotia really should do more to promote this special time of the year.

 

Our first concert was Saturday night so on that morning I wanted to check out some beaches and do some beachcombing.  We drove up and down small mountain roads, and stopped at beautiful beaches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We didn't realize our wonderful trip would be short-lived due to car problems.  Without seeing one concert, we had to be towed back home (we arrived on Thursday and were towed home Monday)...thank goodness for CAA.  Never again will I complain when it comes time for our annual payment.  It would have cost around $500 if we didn't have that coverage.

 

The Ford is still in for repair and we are now preparing for winter and thinking about more home renovations.
