Arrived Halifax Airport last night at 8:30 p.m. and drove as far as Amherst before our bodies wore out (warning: if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t think about trying to stop in Springhill, as there are no hotels there!). Left early this morning and drive the short hop (all hops seem short now, compared to Tokyo-San Francisco) to home on Prince St. New furnace was installed by our brilliant plumber in our absence and we’re all ready to have the first real bath in our house since we moved in almost two years ago.
