Astral Weeks

It’s been quite the time. We’ve synchronized our bladders, done changeovers like an FI pit stop crew and harmonized hotel check ins and parking like U2’s roadies.

It’s been a blast but even in a prosperous place like Toronto, you can see that for many it’s a bitter sweet symphony and to believe in this living is a hard thing to do. Fixin’ up the car to drive in it again, the Verve and Coldplay ease us out of Toronto through Hamilton to St Catharines where Hugo rowed and where they should have a blue plaque for the grand Funk.

For us, exhaustion is taking its toll, so Montreal postponed to give us that day of rest in Toronto and more sadly we bypassed Colin not to take the long road home.

Close to the edge, a hollowed out town trying its best with a few unusual features that remind Blair of his favorite day – in Seaside, Oregon.After the financial outlays of the past two weeks he may needFor me there is Jay Cochrane, who when my age did thisAmazingly he died later of natural causes! Moving round the bend the travelers did the uncommercial swift but sufficient view of the falls.Thence over the bridge and into static traffic – Funk’s revenge. Ian behind the wheel is pacified by Rory Gallagher live from the other PRC – the People’s Republic of Cork.Getting closer to the end. This could be the last time, but I don’t know.

    That would be St. Catharines not St Catherine! (where Hugo rowed)

    Almost as bad as Fitzgerald for FitzGerald!
    I won’t tell you I told you so for traffic but I’m doing it anyway. Thousand Islands definitely nice than the Falls at this time of year

      I never doubted you. Compounded by a crash.

    First 👍🏻👍🏻 for Coldplay!
    I was fascinated by Petit crossing in NY, never knew someone did it there. Seems even more chalanging! Will look to read more about him!
    And very good knitting of the story with the pictures!!

    Not stopping in NYC to see us?

      Waze would only let us go through towns in New York with names we had never heard of! Just as well in view of the frequent repairs to the undercarriage. Sorry to miss you – we need to plan a side trip to make up for it
