Early moring the neíghbour stood on the road, read to bring us to Sydney. What a guy! Coming from Alberta, he found his love in Cape Breton and moved here. He loves it here, all quiet and save. On the way he told us a story. During the financial crisis 3 years ago, his sister living in Greece wrote him a mail asking why he was not worried by the state of the world. He said, here, when he drives to work, he listend to the local radio, learns who´s dog has died or who makes a little blueberrry pie party and that´s all he needs to know. Noboby has money here, nobody spends money here, just like him so he feels good here in the land where time is 30 years behind. When he comes home he either goes fishing or sits on his little tractor and cuts the lawn. That´s what he wrote back to his sister, and that´s the reason why he loves it here and why he doesnt worry about the world. Whether this is good or not, we didnt know, but the people are so relaxed and friendly here, there must be something about their way of live.
The bike didnt get fixed, so we stayed one night here, a bit frustrated! But trying to take it the Canadien way, with a beer in the evening.
