hello,

long day indeed and lots of rain. Glad to be off the bike, showered, and able to relax. Looking forward to a day off the bike!

V and I met Ann's cousin Dorothy last night. She was wonderful and beautiful too! And what a lovely home Dorothy has! Her and her friend Frank cooked us a fabulous dinner of haddock, scallops, fresh peas and carrots, beets, and baby potatoes. All topped off with a glass of wine and strawberry shortcake. Yum! Been eating lots of junk - french fries at lunch and waffles with syrup for breakfast. So it was great to have some real food to fill in between the few chances we get for a nice healthy meal out.

It was also nice to chat with them, both cyclists. They let us know to expect hills today when we were expecting a nice flat ride. Throw in some rain and V's upset stomach and headache - and you can imagine the day V had....

one more night at the hotel, then 4 nights of camping. I'm enjoying the trip but I'd sure like to be dry for the next few days as we make our way down the south coast - sure to be beautiful if it's clear enough to see the Atlantic!

Think SUNSHINE!
