So sorry for the delay in putting this up. 

More journal and pictures...
7/12 My first day at the Gaelic College! Unfortunately, I have hardly any time to write. The Gaelic classes are quite easy for me, but the teacher is very nice and accommodating. She has pink tips of her hair. Stepdancing is fun; everyone in the class is between the ages of 5-7. Highland is great, but goes by super fast. The classes are not big. I hope we don't do a lot of nationals for Saturday. I liked Sandra Bald Jones. (Sorry for the random sentences). [I'm hoping to do a separate post on the Gaelic College.]
Our neighbors at the campground are going to the College too, and are very fun. We also met the K-s, F and O both little and sweet. It's rainy and cold, foggy and misty, and in the middle of nowhere. But it's rugged and beautiful. Gotta go! :)
Friday (7/18): Won most improved in stepdance along with C, most exciting. Had ceilidh in the afternoon. Arduous, sweaty, tiring, but enjoyable. 
7/18 Ugh. I'm sorry for not writing.
About today:
We packed up and left Englishtown Ridge. Had very yummy clam chowder at the Village Kitchen in Baddeck. We actually saw Cornelia as we were driving through town. We went to the Alexander Graham Bell museum, which was possibly the most discombobulating and surreal museum I've ever been to. But that could've been just because I was tired. It was very interesting though, It was completely bilingual (French), and even the staff was bilingual.
We then drove to Whycocomah and set up at a park there. The view is beautiful and the campsite is pretty spacious. I have not seen the washrooms yet. [Note the "washrooms".] Earlier it was pretty hot but now it's quite nice.
Yesterday (7/19): Said goodbye to A and C (above) -- there was even talk of strapping one or both of them to the roof of the car. I've missed them. Went to the competition, and hung out with a different A and Cornelia, and some people from the College. It was HOT. I was glad it didn't rain though, because the indoor stage is tiny. I didn't do very well, only a 4th in the Blue Bonnets (they awarded to 4th). I messed up my jig and hornpipe, although I got through my Earl! Yay! I heard the judge wasn't very technical and after all, it's nationals, so I'll not worry about it. A did quite well, and C won again. I had a fun time though. When we got back to the campsite, our new neighbors were playing 80s hits loudly all evening and into Sunday morning. Continue to have attacks from the squirrel.
All right then folks, more comin' your way soon, I hope! :)
