Last hike of the trip. en route from Halifax to Yarmouth and the ferry home. Continued our 7/7/7 to good effect.

After another full day of walking around, a short sunset run (with a couple errands thrown in) to make sure my legs still work. They do. I would have liked to go further, but there were hoards of people along the water and it was too dark to see anywhere else.

In Halifax for a few days. Nice to be able to just leave the car in a lot and walk around. Garmin tells me about 8 miles today -- wearing flip flops the whole time may explain why my legs feel tired.

Cape Split with B and Z. We continued our 7/7/7 rhythm and it worked really well. So, 1/3 of the time I had a 40lb 4-year-old on my shoulders, 1/3 I had a heavy pack, and 1/3 I was either chasing Z down the trail or gently urging her on. I have to say, she's turned into quite the trail runner - she's faster and more agile downhill than I am.

Also, thanks to a gummy every 30 minutes, lots of storytelling (she's been asking for stories about people and animals that get sick or "get dead" from things in the woods... hmm...), and a few disney story podcasts on the return, there was NO whining!

Added a brief recap of UNE. Will post full report if/when one of us writes one.
