... es auf dem Wg dahin nicht, da der Highway meist von einem Wall oder Baeumen begrenzt ist. Was ich vorher nicht kannte, ist der Aufbau der Strasse. Jede Richtung ist zweispurig, aber beide Richtungen sind nicht direkt nebeneinander, sondern manchmal liegen mehrere Meter und viele Baeume dazwischen, sodass man das Gefuehl hat auf einer grossen Einbahnstrasse zu fahren.<br><br>Nachdem wir nicht so genau wussten, wo wir eigentlich hinsollen, haben wir bei der Information eines ...

... in the town. Oh! I can highly recommend the pizza and lite beer! I'm strictly Canadian for the next few days...and I actually had a Canadian lite beer. Speelman's. It was quite tasty! <br><br>I am going to try to add photos to this travel blog...but I forgot the cord to transfer photos to my computer! I'm now taking some photos with my phone and that seems to do the trick!

... of assistants between the age of 12 and 100, who did not want to sell you anything - bizarre - actually more like the shop in Royston Vasey - 'a local shop for local people).  <br><br>We took a pleasant walk through the city park which was surrounded by grand buildings (most of which looked like they needed renovation or were student accommodation) moving on to the sea fronted residents with lovely wooden ...

This is Jo's old stamping ground so on her recommendation we took a day out from our idyllic pad and went for a tour of the Thousand Island. One side of the island belongs to Canada and one side is the USA and it is not hard to identify which side is which as they are extremely proud of their countries to fly their national colours.  The sides of the lake are fairly full with homes and even some of the little islands ...

... Obviously in much better shape than us. One was a Saluki but I couldn't understand what the lady said the other dog was. I don't understand how we can all be speaking english yet often not understand each other (at least I don't understand them). I was actually quite proud of my cardio-vascular health - I really didn't find the hike too strenuous at all (I'm not sure L could say the same thing - I kept stopping to wait for her and she wouldn't jog up ...

It was very different from anything I've ever eaten. It was some sort of hot cereal. There was also a coconut chutney to eat with it that was very spicy. It was odd eating spicy food for breakfast. Picked up ...

So today is the day. We've mostly packed the van up. I've got a list of things to finish off around the house today, and then we're hoping to leave right after work at 5 or so. We'll drive to mom's house tonight, and leave bright and early tomorrow to hopefully beat the traffic in Toronto. It sure is easier packing for Europe. One bag. Carry on size. That's it. I do have one bag for my clothes and a few other things, but it's larger and heavier than I'd ever dream of ...

Tomorrow, I'm going away! I'll be back next week. I'm so excited! Anywhoo, I'm going down to the US. I haven't been out of the country in ages. I'm looking forward to it. I'm going with my Mum to Pennsylvania for the National Sheepdog Finals. They're in (near) Gettysburg. We'll be checking out some of the historical stuff as well as the ...
