I've been wandering through my photo galleries from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. A few favorites have jumped into a new gallery.

I've scattered some photos among the words in my tale. If you're interested in seeing a few images in the context of my travel days, take another quick glance through the pages of this journal.

The photos are clickable if you'd like to see others from that day's wanderings.

Another traveling dog

Oh look! Denise's sister sent us an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer about a couple who takes a dog like me along on their vacations.

Here's a link to the article - Personal Journey: Stuffed dog helps break the iciness of a waiter.

See? Denise isn't the only person who has an interesting travel companion. OK, OK, maybe it is a little odd. But I really, really like traveling with Denise, I know she likes having me along, and I know that Gromit likes traveling with Marilyn and John too.

Wishing stone

Look! Denise got me my very own wishing stone.

I know, I know, it's really made of glass. I think I can look into it and dream of travel destinations for Denise and me.

Where did she find it? When we were in Sydney she found a brochure called the Cape Breton Artisan Trail Map, published by the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design. There were some galleries that jumped out at her, and she picked up a couple of small pieces of glass for herself, one at the place that published the map, and one at Glass Artisans Studio & Gallery. That second place is where she picked up my wishing stone. And there was an artist set up in a tent outside - in all of that wind - blowing glass into wonderful shapes. That was fun to watch too.
