REST DAY
Am trying to write this on bus, semi darkness on our way home from Niagara Falls Little word of wisdom...Do not Take a school bus on a suuny 30+ Long weekend to Niagara Falls. We were held up in traffic and by the time we arrived we were like zombies. We had our own personal tour guide, Jeff, who was great and the area magnificiant. I must admit that I was a little awe struck to be out around so many people!
Ashamedly I admit that we have had little communication with the outside world, to the events happening in the middle east or the world in general. I feel so ignorant but I guess I choose that while we remain in our cycling cocoon...while we were in Saskatchewan we prayed for the two slain RCMP officers. We did hear that parts of southern Ontario were hit with tornadoes. In Fegus thre was evidence of strong winds that knocked tree tops and branches down.
Earlier today we visited the Mohawk settlement with the oldest protestant church in Ontario. Leona Moses gave a very interesting history lesson of the church and events of the time.
It is getting too dark to continue. It will be after 10 before we get back to our host family in Fergus. Tomorrow we head to Uxburg.
Julia, we will be in Ottawa on Thursday, overnight. I hope to call you on Tuesday seeing that this is the long weekend, I assume you will be away?
