Rolling along the coast to the Blueberry Festival in Brigus. The festival was fun, especially the music the.Live bands playing local music, it sounds like a mixture between Irish folkmusic an Country music. Very nice to sit in the sun and listen to this wonderful music while watching all the people. To us very amazing is the size of the people, most are rather heavy, even young ones and the foot sold on the festival lacked any salad or fruit, it was all grease and potatoes or pies.
But, on the other hand, we never meet people as friendly as here. Everyone talks to us, the are so easy going, that makes the trip really an experience. Yesterday in our B&B we had a wonderful evening and morning chat with our hosts and one of the guests, John and his wife. He invited us to his home in Iowa, in case we pass there. Then in the evening, when we arrived at our current B&B in Dildo, we were invited by guests to share a beer and even to visit them at their house in Ottowa.
This is more than I expected and we are both very happy.
The rest is easily told: The bikes run well, especially Katrins electrical bike (bionX) performs really outstanding. We estimate to get around 100 kilometer with one battery load, which is more than we expect to do in a day.
Katrin & Frank are crossing Canada and the USA by bicycle. We started in St. John´s (Canada) the most eastern town on the North American Continent and are biking to Los Angeles in the USA. We started August 10th and hope to be in LA in December 2011. The journey is a longtime dream of Frank and we think the best way to see a country. Katrin is riding a Specialized bicycle with electro support, Bionix, made in Canada. Frank rides a Cannondale bike, made in the US.
