Today we leave Cape Breton Island and the national park. We have been in awe and inspired by the rugged natural beauty of this place. The people who live and work here have a deep concern for the environment which shows in everyday things like recycling baskets right next to waste baskets in public and private spaces. We saw no litter at all -- not on the beaches, on roadsides, nor in parking lots. Laurel's one disappointment was not seeing an actual real live moose.

| Cape Breton Island is separated from the mainland by the Canso Straight. There is one road on and off the island, and it goes over the Canso Causeway (pictured). There might be ferries but we didn't discover that in time. |

| The bridge into Sheet Harbour was draped in bras, causing quite a traffic jam. The day before there had been a breast cancer fund raiser. |
