Hey everybody, this'll be short and sweet because I'm on the computer of a nice family in a small New Brunswick town with Rainer and Adrian. Mike is resting up his knee in Waterloo for a week before rejoining us, we're all thinking about him quite a bit and hoping for his speedy and full recovery.
This family just had us in from the cold for tea, apple pie and ice cream, and offered to make us some waffles for breakfast...how's that for camping, haha! Our tents are in the front yard, hopefully tonight's frost doesn't cramp the legs too much.
We did 123km yesterday and 110km today, stopping in Fredericton for lunch. I wish we could've stayed there longer, the main strip feels very village-like with plenty of pubs and restaurants. Last night we camped in the yard of a nice retired school teacher in Jemseg, NB, and her amazing friend Willa had us over for dinner for some of the best spaghetti I've ever tasted. People have been overly hospitable so far, making me very proud to be a part of this country of ours.
Just had my first shower and shave in a few days, and words won't do justice to how great it feels. Time to go socialize with these kind folks some more before retiring in the tent for the night, will post an update at the next available chance...cheers!
