Mile 683

 After a late night we take it easy this morning.  After sleeping in I join Jimmy on the porch with a fresh coffee to enjoy the morning tranquility, only broken here and there from the cry of an eagle, or the splashing of an osprey when diving for a fish.  That is how a Sunday morning should start, and the sun between the trees provides just the right amount of warmth to wake up.  This place reminds us very much about our place we had in South Africa, the right spot to relax and recharge.  After more story exchanges and a hearty breakfast (Chelsea you're right, he makes a great breakfast), we pack our stuff and saddle the bike.



We say goodbye to a new found friend and head back to Hwy-1/Hwy-1A and make our way to Calais, ME to cross the boarder into New Brunswick, Canada.  Here we take Rt. 1 through St. Stephen, NB to Saint John, NB.  This time we pass through as the tide is not right to visit the reversing falls, and continue to Moncton, NB.  Weather is nice, just a couple of clouds up in the sky, temperatures at a pleasant mid sixties, and some breeze to keep the smoke from the wildfires away (even though one could smell it here and there).  There is hardly any traffic and the ride is one of the most relaxing ones I ever had and time flies at an ease.  We call it the day in Moncton, NB, settle in a motel and make plans for the next days.


A very special and big THANK YOU to Jimmy for your hospitality, and we both look forward to see you again.


Today will be no quote, but instead a link to a singer / songwriter of extraordinary talent, incredible fun, and a lovely person we had the pleasure to meet a week ago and are looking forward to meet again.  I think her songs and lyrics are the perfect quote to this page.
