Life In Cape Breton

I lived in Cape Breton most of my young life. What I remember of what I missed the most about Cape Breton is the ocean, and the way it talks to you. When it's windy the ocean seems like it's angry. When there is no wind it is so calm. I would sit by the shore and listen to the birds and the breeze in the trees close to the shore. I would miss hearing the shells and rocks cracking under my feet. There are so many different sounds. It's like going for therapy. These are such relaxing sounds, they could even put you off to sleep.

The scenery around here is breath taking. The ocean is such a beautiful color. The blues and greens of the ocean are so beautiful to look at. There are sail boats, speed boats, and jet skies. It is so relaxing just watching people and children enjoying the ocean and the land around us. Summer is the most enjoyable part of Cape Breton. There are the beaches, the barbeque, baseball games, clam digging, hiking, diving for muscles, and fishing. There are so many things you can do in the summer. The only down fall about summer is it is not long enough.

The fall in Cape Breton is so beautiful. If you want to see beautiful scenery, go around the Cabot Trail or Marble Mountain. The mountains are so colorful with so many different shades. The colors with the ocean is such a peaceful picture. My children always enjoyed coming to Cape Breton on vacation.

The winters in Cape Breton are very cold and long. Everything looks so dark and dirty. You can go skating or sliding; nevertheless, I feel that there are not too many other things to do in the winter in Cape Breton.
