The metropolis of Cherry Hill

I arrived at Halifax International Airport, Nova Scotia, and met up with our project scientists Christina and Chris, their dog Lycos, and 11 other volunteers. The other folks had travelled from the UK, the States and Japan, although some had been in Nova Scotia for a few days and were a bit more lively than jet-lagged me:-) Chris drove us to the metropolis of Cherry Hill on the southern coast of the province, where we would be based for the next two weeks. Cherry Hill has a church, a hybrid village hall/auxiliary fire station, no mobile phone reception, and not a lot else... apart from the wildlife of course:-)
