About

We have had a cottage in the area since 2001. Our first trip here was to the Buctouche Bay Inn. It was a cold fall but the trip was wonderful and romantic enough for us to look for a cottage to rent for the following summer. We found one in Caissie Cape and then from our Caissie Cape base we started to look for a cottage of our own. Months later we came upon a deal in Breau Village we couldn’t pass up and we’ve been here ever since.

Our first journalistic tour took us to Indiantown, FL, to visit Mayan refugees from Guatemala. We made that trip in a tiny red Toyota Tercel Elaine’s father left her. It was Elaine, me and my son, Christopher and we had a lot of fun talking to people, taking photos and recording voices.

We’re getting back to that with our exploration of Acadie. We’ve done a rough sketch starting at Baie Verte where New Brunswick meets Nova Scotia and, so far, we’ve gotten as far as Miscou with our picture taking. Our work these last few months have been as much about exploring “us” as it has been about exploring Acadie. We’re away from each other during the week these days and we need to reconnect. Somehow, the two are inextricably intertwined. This isn’t just fun. We need to do this.
