The wind woke us up, shaking the house and whistling loud. A glimpse out of the window was all we needed to decide that we will stay one more day here. (it was not the wine from yesterday evening)And while we had breakfast, Jim run into the house and shouted that the greenhouse has flying away. And it was, the wind had just torn the plastic to bits and pieces. We felt so sorry for Josie and Jim. But, looking at the temperature here, 26 degrees and humid, we felt as if we all were in a greenhouse. Apparently, it was the hottest summerday this year!
We used the day to get Katrin´s bike fixed, which should be the case tomorrow, as we had to bring it to a mechanic. The rest was quiet and relaxed, we washed all our clothes, checked our finances, we need about 120 Can. Dollars a day and person, all included. A good part of it on food, cars would need fuel, we need lots of food. And as we dont eat fast food and enjoy a good glass of wine in the evening, our food bill is rather high.
i think i'm going to post this anyway, even though blogspot insists that i do so with a 3 yrar old google chat status which blogspot refuses to update...
AntwortenLöschenanyway, i'm sorry you got all that weather here for a 'welcome' - this was an odd summer indeed right across the country (global warming?). but fall should be beautiful (it usually is), and you'll be right in the middle of it!
oh, i don't want to forget: if you're looking for decent coffee on the road, try TIM HORTON'S. by far the best "chain store coffee" in the country, just steer away from everything else they sell... (they don't have burgers, mostly doughnuts, although their soups are actually good). the coffee is usually really good there, even for the discriminating continental european taste! (it's about what you get in zurich at starbucks, only 80% cheaper).
so have fun on the next part of your trip, i'm looking forward to seeing you here in toronto - in about a month or so!!!
ok, solved the problem with the status/screen name: blogspot copies this at the time of sign-up. then one has to change it MANUALLY!!! :-(
