Day 50 - (the high climbs, the) Grand Falls

We're in the Maritimes!


This is a big milestone for me as I'm now in the same time zone as my destination. Little hints are popping up that I'm close to home: Kent Building Centres, Irving stations, Greco pizza shops, etc. And we're now seeing both English and French on the signs.

We arrived in Edmuston, a magical land where you too can be swept off your feet by a handsome lad like this one:


Oddly, we couldn't find a Tim Horton's, but we stopped at Subway, which I prefer anyway. There was a very helpful policeman in there who gave us route advice (he's also a cyclist) and escorted us to the tourist information place for maps.

There, we discovered there was a high probability of rain tonight, so I booted it in order to get my wet clothes dried before the showers. It was fun to really give 'er for the first time in a while. I passed another group cycling from San Francisco to St. John's with Tour d'Afrique. It sounds like their tour is quite luxurious and well organized. They also do a 50 day ride through Europe that sounds awesome. Maybe I'll do that one when I retire.

Laundry update: after sitting next to the fire for a couple of hours, everything is dry!
