The morning in St. Peter's started with lightening, thunder, heavy rain & wind.  We headed out regardless, after a nice breakfast at the MacDonald Inn.  The rain was lighter by then and we took Highway 104 as the wider shoulder seemed safer in the foul weather.  We lost about 10K of Garmin recordings due to some satellite interference/glitch :-)   This turned out to be our favourite stretch of riding so far - not such a good stretch for raccoon or porcupines (and some kind of furry ermine-y thing) to choose to live - squish.  We stopped for a long break at Port Hawkesbury SUBWAY for lunch - one of our favourite, predictable places to lunch.  Not too many coffee stops on the highway (well, none), but nice railings to sit on for our breaks. After the initial wet start, occasional showers, and 107K ride to Antigonish today, 9:00 AM - 6:15 PM, we were thrilled to see our wonderful accommodations at the Evergreen Inn - excellent, 8 rooms.  We took a taxi ride to town for a beautiful dinner at Gabrieau's - excellent! Cab ride 5-6$ - anywhere in town.
