Cabot Trail is awesome, but that's a day. That doesn't count the drive up and back from Wolfville, and doesn't factor in the fact that the Cabot Trail is, in and of itself, a drive.

Nothing wrong with checking out the Wolfville, Acadia is a nice little campus, the downtown has a decent pub (the name escapes me). One of my best friends from high school, her parents are part of the ownership group of Wayfarers Ale Society, a fantastic micro-brewery in Wolfville. Be sure to check it out. If you want a quick lunch, another friend of mine is opening a taco shop in Kentville (right by Wolfville) called Taco-Centric. Be sure to check them out.

Peggy's Cove is probably a short drive and worth seeing. If you can spend a day or two in Halifax do it. Halifax is an awesome city, and growing the right way. The boardwalk is fantastic, the library is unreal, Argyle Street may or may not be closed to vehicle traffic, but the patios on it are fantastic. It's a very historic city, be sure to check out Citadel Hill, even if you don't go to the museum itself the hill and commons are nice. Dalhousie has a beautiful campus (be sure you're on the main campus and not the engineering campus, I mean that's fine but the historic buildings and such are on the main campus at the end of Univeristy).

My buddy Mavs, who works for Eastlink Television, did a live walkthrough of downtown Halifax after Canada won the World Juniors:

I should note that I'm born and raised in Sydney, still live here, so if you do want to come up to Cape Breton, let me know and I can give lots of details, ideas and information.

Thanks for this, some good information.

I was in Halifax last summer for work for a week.

It's the areas outside of town I am interested in.

Also I like Taocs.
