Just got in, yup was out after dark and stayed up this late. Last minute change in plans, had to postpone music and dinner at distillery. I'll stop there for lunch tomorrow on my way back to Cheticamp.
Had a quick bite at The Mull and then rushed off to hear Sylvia Tyson in concert. Yup, that's right, Sylvia of the 1960's folk duo, Ian and Sylvia. Great concert.
Music with dinner last night the Red Shoe Pub. Afternoon local ale and music today at he Celtic Music Center. And tonight top it off with the concert.
Music is everywhere and it isn't even Celtic Colors, that festival is next week. And L, who owns the B & B where I am staying is a musician; had some folks here for lessons this afternoon while I was relaxing.
The concert was in the hall at the high school which is used continually for theater and concerts. There is a very active movement here to preserve Scottish traditions and language. Gaelic is offered in the schools, all the signs in the high school were in both English and Gaelic.
My ears, eyes, nose, taste buds and mind are about to explode. So much to take in. The forecast for Saturday is rain and at this time I hope so. Need a rainy day to stay in and reflect and absorb all I've seen and experienced.
For now, night, night and then tomorrow off to Cheticamp and a couple of days to explore the Cabot Trail.
