Cynthia,
Cape Breton is the top most part of Nova Scotia. It is a beautiful area
where the Brass de Ore (sp?) lake is and the nicest people live there. We
visited last year and drove across the top of NS and up Cape Breton to
catch the ferry to Newfoundland. Totally awesome trip there is a wonderful
culture there. Jane
