Today was way too exciting, I don't even want to talk about our ride, but, this is what this blog is for soo, here we go. Today we woke up and ate our breakfast at the inn and conversed with a younger couple from michigan (it took them three days to finally be friendly with us) and we were having a really nice time! As we knew today was only 44 miles we were stalling like none other. Finally, we went up to the room, but it took me about half an hour to get all my things together before we could leave. Once we finallyy left we came to an intersection, one where we could choose two routes; a shorter, hilly one. Or a longer flat one. And, my mom being the dare devil she is chose to go the hilly way in hopes of finding the confederation trail..however, we did not. Now, I must say, whoever calls P.E.I. flat is crazy. If there were hills, we were on em'.
We got to the ferry terminal for the ferry to Nova Scotia and realized that there was a ferry just about to leave so we raced on and parked our bikes beside a pole at the rear of the boat. I look up, and you wont beleive what I saw. Mr. Armstrong, (a teacher/coach at rockridge) it was so wierd. I called his name and he didn't really notice until his wife (also a sub at rockridge who I've had.) looked at me and said "oh! a rockridge face!". It was the craziest thing ever! We talked about our summers and he told us what they were doing. Driving across Canada and back. !! They left July 1st and are hoping to arrive back home on September 1st. Looong trip. The two kids, 11 year old boy and a 12 year old girl, were having a trip of their lifetime. Small world, eh?
Tip of the Day: Procrastination doesn't ALWAYS hurt.
only 44 miles - well, that sounds quite a bit to me.....
ReplyDeleteyou've had a pretty amazing number of 'moments' in your travels - timing is everything - must be fun to see people from home when you are so far from it!
