August 10, 2012. Western Head, NS. Nova Scotia.

I am always perplexed when people have no interest in traveling.  For instance,  Nova Scotia is a charming, beautiful place,  yet most people in North America have never set eyes on the place.  For many folks it is definitely not money.   It is certainly not time.    Most people return to the same place every year for the annual vacation even though there is a whole world to explore.  It is a puzzle to me.

The whole of Nova Scotia is a bit like living in a movie set.  The towns and villages are old and mostly on the coast, so picaresque.    Your camera must be kept close by.   The rivers are short and rocky but beautiful.  The only city of any size is Halifax, a very old, interesting  town and the Acadia's coast brings another level of interest and information.    The history goes back to the early 17th Century.

The people may be the best part, at least it is after the scenery.  Nova Scotia is a simple place.  But there are hundreds of places to find in North America that are just as beautiful.   I wonder why people don't explore them?  It makes no sense to me.
