Martin's Motel Madawaska

Unsere heutige Weiterfahrt ging Richtung Edmundston. Unterwegs konnten wir einen wunderbaren Herbsttag geniessen. Die Sonne scheint und die Blätter fallen immer weiter.<br><br>Unterwegs haben wir in Hartland die längste überdachte Holzbrücke der Welt (390,75 Meter) angeschaut. <br><br>Einen weiteren Stopp legten wir in Grand ...

... jacket coat thingy, along with our coats, hats, scarves, gloves and other warm attire. We got told it would be cold, and it was!! We sailed in to the midst of the St. Laurence river, going fairly slowly at first because the water was concentrated with whales! :D Then we continued at quite the speed further to see biiiiig whales. The ride was so fun! The capt'n pulled sharp lefts and sharp rights so we were almost on the side of the boat (well that's what it felt like.) Apparantly ...

We got up at about 6:00 again this morning and out the door by 7:00. The weather started out cool and overcast but we never saw a drop of rain again. The winds were very strong but at our back for the first 150 miles. We got some great mileage. We stopped at a nice restaurant after about an hour of riding and got our first (and last hopefully) French lessons. The server was nice but the menu was in French and the server only spoke very broken ...

... feel. Maybe it was the language, the food, or the architecture. Whatever it was, it was nice to taste. While passing along the freeway beside the Saint Lawrence Seaway there are some magnificent views to take in, showing how vast this waterway is, and why it is an engineering marvel.<br><br>Rob Sargeant<br>

... as the smell was pretty bad so I got a basket of plums for 3 bones and headed back out. I quickly scored a ride with a university recruiter and we talked the entire 3 hour trip to Moncton about "The Power of Now." We were straight up each others alleys, I won't forget that ride for a long time! He gave me all the low down on Moncton and life in general and let me off downtown to fend for my own. Ohhh man this is the best part! So I was ...

Day 18: A3 C14 odometer reading 10519 miles Rusty 1200Rt odometer reading 31916 miles The alarm clock went off at 6am, as agreed, but we did not leave till 11:15am. Rusty woke up feeling dizzy and had to go worship the porcelain god a few times. At around 9:30am we went for breakfast, but Rusty could not eat anything, and then we just took a walk around the ...

Today we started off with a 6km hike in Algonquin Park. It was a beautiful walk but we were eaten alive by the bugs. A few hills and a bit of mud made it a bit interesting here and there but the views were worth it. We headed back to where we started and had lunch by the lake and enjoyed the view before heading to the visitors centre to see how the park was started and the history of the area. After this we ...

Today is another fun day ... WHITE WATER RAFTING!!! We were all up at 7am for breakfast and our meeting for basic rules and what stuff we needed for the day. The guys we were going with today were the actual instructors for rafting/kayaking certification in North, Central, and South America so I felt pretty safe. We went down a few different rapids starting with a few small ones and getting to a ...

... We make our precarious way down a very steep, winding, narrow road straight out of the 1600's, but with some 21st century road work thrown in to give an added "thrill". With a sigh of relief, we make it safely to the bottom and find that the next ferry is in 20 minutes. The ferry ride is even shorter than the wait. Levis appears to be a tiny, picturesque old place. But a bike-taxing climb straight up from the river brings us to sprawling, modern Levis. It takes a long ...

... when I was living in Norfolk, Virginia I met a lady who was from Madawaska, right down the road from here and I gave her the painting. I ended the day by stopping at the Soldier Pond rest area on 11. Total mileage so far 2869.3, average daily expense $14.06. My art website http://home.earthlink.net/~greenvanartu sa/index.html
