Hampton Inn Watertown, Ny

... und so sind wir da hin gegangen und ich muss sagen,d ass es sich gelohnt hat. Dabei handelte es sich um eine Licktprojektion auf dem Centre Block des Parliament begleitet von Musik und Texten. Ich weiss zwar nicht, was das Thema dieses Jahr war, aber es war ein bisschen wie eine Kanada-Gehirnwaesche, das sie unzaehlige Male Kanada erwaehnt haben. Aber die Projetion war unerwartet scharf und gut zu sehen!

Nach diesem langen Tag gings dann nur noch ab nach Hause.
 
 
 

... to take the girl on the lawn with you when you go".

The park on the island is going to be beautiful when the town is done working on it. We sort of took over the pavillion. We streched out our mattress pads to sit on to eat and then took naps. Carmen took out her sleeping bag for the sun to dry up the moisture. A cop drove by and looked at us weird and drove off, Alexis thinks some ...

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 ...

... still one side along the shore and the other side along quiet farms of round hay bails, wild flower fields, and colourful gardens. I rode beside my mom and we talked about plans for the future and a genius idea that Senica had. The windmills were ever in our peripheral as a perspective of size and alignment.
The sunny cyclical pleasantries continued on like this for two hours or so as we followed the shore around the island back to the east and came ...

... guard comes and checks behind their coat. It is always done, and the significance to it is to "check for any hidden girlfriends". We saw that and talked to a police officer where we were informedthat each part of the castle was for a different individual. The main one of which was for the Queen herself, but because the flag was not up, it meant that she was not home. The other areas of the castle was one for the first son, and the othe was for the second son andhis ...

... is also where the St. Lawrence river meets Lake Ontario and there are many small islands here which are known as the Thousand Islands.

Along this stretch of shoreline the road is much closer to the river, so we had good views of Canada almost all of the way to our campground which was just 25 miles further along. Kring Point State Park is situated right on the riverbank and we selected a nice pitch from where we had a nice view of the water without paying ...

... but paddling was slow because of all the water plants and the sun was setting quickly so we head back. We'll go back again in a canoe which might cut through the lillypads a bit better. Also it might glide under the creepy dark causeway faster. It was quite a relief to come out safe on the home side of the causeway - certainly that is a place that I would go freak-out in if we got stuck underneath. Added a little perilous excitement to our marsh exploration.

... because we've gone much faster! We started giving group massages which feels really nice but gets some stares from the people who pass by. Hee hee. Tonight we a camped between two roads and we can hear traffic. :( We passed the Mother House of the Sister's of St. Joseph which was pretty neat because this is the Order that founded Nazareth College. I'm going to sign off and try to call a friend then crawl into my bag. Good Night! :)

... lunches yesterday. It seems like all we do is pedal and eat. We practically drained a ½ gallon of OJ at one of our stops. We are currently in Harrisville to get more food: Turkey slices, Fluff (marshmallow crème), lots of fruit, PB and honey. Madre tells me we are out of the 'green zone'. When you go to http://maps.google.com/ It automatically pulls up a map the the United States ...

... just looked too expensive, so I went by it, then I stopped at the cheapo place down the road. No vacancies, but the lady informed me there was a Microtel further down the road to Watertown. I really had no choice, so I went over there. It was like, $80 for a room for the night, so that sucked. It would've been cheaper if I was in the military...Everything in this area would've been cheaper if I was in the military. Why DIDN'T I sign up for basic training when I had the chance ...
