Time for my first time-space continuum violation. We're moving to July, 2006.

I might get in trouble for this, because the Travel Gal (my finacee) took this picture, and not me. But she'll never find out, right? Yeah, nobody ever finds out what you do on the Internet. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Anyhow, this was a July sunset taken from our campsite at Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia. Yes, that's how it's spelled- my crack editorial staff checked. To be simpler, let's just call it Keji, like everyone else does.

At its heart, Keji is a lake with a park around it. We were lucky enough to get the legendary campsite 334, which sits on its own little peninsula, poking out into the lake. It felt as if we had the lake to ourselves, and was well worth hauling the gear to and from the car. If you ever go to this park, make sure you ask if this campsite is open, and if it his, well holy shit, take it!!!

As you can see, the lake is gorgeous, and you can spend days paddling around all the little islands. The Travel Gal and I can heartily recommend a nsunset paddle, when you can watch hundreds of bats flit through the gathering dark, and listen to the loons call goodbye to the sun. Plus, you might see a sunset like this!
