Rose the Gypsy took good care of me.

Bar Harbor, Maine:

Lucy Neatby's House (Halifax, Nova Scotia):

The cemetery where some of the Titanic victims are buried (still Halifax):

Handmaiden hand-dyed yarns out to dry (also Halifax):

Decompressing in The Crow's Nest:

Belfast Mini-Mills on Prince Edward Island:

Monkey towel in our stateroom:

Quebec City (the coldest place we visited!):
