Itchy from 2 days at Northumberland Provincial Park, reacting strongly to mosquito bites. Drove along the western shore of Nova Scotia as far as Linwood, just south of Cape Breton Island. Terrain is hillier than Prince Edward Island. Mountains visible in the interior. Higher seaside cliffs. Lighthouse at Cape George way above ocean with great view up and down the coast. Road signs and town names are bilingual, but not the expected English/French. Instead, they are English/Gaelic. Scottish Gaelic, that is. I'll bet they are taking advantage of the wording of a law specifying that official signs need to be bilingual with the local minority language. On PEI, many signs are English/French/Micmac. Private campground at Linwood unremarkable, but has all we need. An adjacent lagoon off Northumberland Strait is a possibility for canoeing tomorrow morning.
