Black Brook Beach Along The Cannonball Run

So when we woke up it was poring. Guess what that means. Yup, school work. I actually had to do something other than math this morning so I looked up my english curriculum and started to read through it. Most of it is written really happily and all enthusiastic with little inserts like “Your journey through grade 9 english” and “It will be fun as well as educational!”. Basically my least favourite type of crap. Anyways, I assessed a poem and made myself a vocabulary spreadsheet. Now I have to do a portfolio of stuff, so I’m think the first thing I’m going to do is a drawing representing the poem. The poem,

entitled “The Spy” was very lame but that’s okay. Poetry’s not my favourite.When we finally got out of the cabin we went right to the Bean Barn and Deli where they advertised all homemade stuff. I got lemon merengue, but it didn’t actually have merengue, just gross fake whipped cream. I have higher expectations than that my friends. Please try harder. We stopped at some more lookout points today, the first being Lakies Head where they were advertising the protection of sea life. There was a bird called the Great

Auk that is now extinct and I was saddened by this

pronouncement. A little further down they had Green Cove which had a really neat rock formation, granite interspersed with lines of quartz, mica and a pinkish rock that I can’t remember the name of. The stripes are called dykes. I got a handstand picture on the rocks and then we navigated the boulders to near the end of the outcropping. A little ways off shore there was a little tiny island covered in birds but we couldn’t really tell what they were. The next stop was Black Brook. It was incredible. There was a waterfall that poured right into the ocean and the two opposing currents tempered each other. The ocean won of course, but still. I climbed up the rocks leading to the falls. We wrote some stuff in the sand. I wrote Cape Breton ’15 and then we all wrote our names and got a family picture. Mum wanted to go to Neil’s Harbour but there didn’t end up being all that much there so

we kept driving along the coast. The views were beautiful. After driving for a while we started back into Ingonish. The parents bought some stuff for dinner and it started raing again when Mum was preparing it. After the scrumptiousness I did the dishes and then went to the front desk with Dad to pick out a movie to watch. We got two, one with Leo DiCaprio, but Mum said it wasn’t suitable for Isaac so we watched Cannonball Run as well. It was pretty hilarious, especially the drunk priests in the red Ferrari. I also have discovered the magic that is Troye Sivan. He’s an Australian singer and a Youtuber and he’s my new favourite person on the planet. Peace out m8s. Dun dun dun!
