I checked out St. Augustine and I'm envious, it's very nice, and it would be among my choices to settle if I lived in the USA. Do I have the right town?
South-east and Northwest probably, so the coasts of North Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, maybe Virginia and the coasts of North California, Oregon, and South Washington.

Zazzy, as far as a landing spot in the US, SE or NW. The West Coast, bordered oddly enough, by the *Pacific* Ocean, particularly the areas you mention, Northern CA, OR & Southern WA, all have coastal cliffs well above sea-level, with rugged shorelines and crashing waves.
Now, on the East Coast, areas you mention, bordered by the Atlantic, all have broad, wide beaches, with adjacent topography much nearer to sea-level. Both beautiful, but different - just depends upon your coastal preference.
Not sure, but I imagine coastal Nova Scotia is much closer, meaning similar, to the Pacific NW in the US, as a function of relatively closer latitudes. What is the tidal difference (range, high to low) in Nova Scotia?
They're both nice in their own ways, but I think the Northwest Coast has less mosquitos, ticks and blackflies.
On the other hand, the water temps and broader, flatter stretches of land and beach along the Southeast Coast are also appealing. I like big waves too.
I used to live in Vancouver and have been down the coast to Los Angeles and even lived in Hollywood for a few months. (It's possible that the place we were renting went up in flames during the fires of a few weeks ago.)
I've also been to Florida as my grandparents used to have a place near Tampa. I even went upside-down for the first time ever on a rollercoaster at Bush Gardens.
How were the hurricanes last fall in your neck of the woods by the way?
Hey Zazzy, sorry we haven't caught up in a while. That's on me, I've just been busy with other stuff.
Yes, the right town. You'd love STA, and I'd love to see you here. As a matter of fact, a fair number of Canadians winter here. I met a guy two weeks ago - here for three months - from Nova Scotia, outside Halifax he said. I told him I knew you, but not certain of your locale, just Nova Scotia.
STA - a great place for a little cafe, it is magical here, oldest continually occupied city in North America, since 1565. Rich in history as a result. Supposedly one of the most haunted cities in the US, due to it's violent past.
Occupied by the Spanish, French, and English at different times, with violent periods in between. Not sure you could convince Dreamy to relocate to be a partner in the cafe here, but Stranger Bedfellows have happened. 8-)
A friend has a summer home in Le Bic, built in the late 1800's on land in her family since the mid-1600's, I believe. Beautiful, reminds me of the setting I imagined while reading Walden, by Thoreau. I could live in that kind of solitude.
How have you been? Last I went looking for you, Dreamy said something about carpentry and applying for a position at your shop?
You've read Walden? That's kind of cute. Any good? I've heard of the book and think Thoreau was an anarchist too if recalled.
But 'Le Bic'... do you mean the Island (St. Lawrence river) in Quebec or the town of the same name nearby on the shore?
Yes, I may be slowly getting into carpentry, more specifically perhaps, prefab tiny houses-- speaking of Walden. Frankly, I have mixed feelings, but do have a good associated skillset, so what the hell. You only live once. The whole tool thing-- both manual and electric-- is a bit bewildering, too, but it's slowly coming into focus.

Cute letter.
