So I went Nova Scotia for a summer vacation, flew to Moncton and drove back home. So here are some pictures of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

In Fox Harbour there's a massive private gated community that Ron Joyce built. Celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell and Bill Clinton have stayed over night and golfed. The resort has a private airport as well.

I used to live in Nova Scotia at Fox Harbour. Only lived there for a year, it was a hard adjustment for me as a kid who lived in a busy city to a place with 250 max.

Here's the house I used to live in

Sorry for the bad picture, this is the school I went to as a kid. The dumbass hicks put me a grade behind! Me from the city move to a hickville town and they put me a grade behind?! Whoa, I work at a stem cell research lab and I bet all the kids I went to school left the place and working at some mill or mine lol.

Not leaving Nova Scotia without lobsters. Even though I'm vegetarian I'm not going to free the lobsters and spray paint my relatives.

I'm smitten! I've always had a secret desire to move to Nova Scotia and be a gay farmer. But obviously it wasn't all it's cracked up to be, or you'd still be there...

too bad, we need more gay farmers. you should consider a change in profession.

Nice pics. I would definitely enjoy the relaxed pace of life out east, at least for a while.
