Step Into Action

Blueberry pancakes!After breakfast graciously cooked by Debbie, we headed back to the high school I finished at yesterday. I started out on my own while Mike and Serge headed out to find somewhere to empty our RV waste. It was drizzling at the start an…

The day began in the Visitor Information Centre parking lot.A bowl of cereal and three hard boiled eggs later I was starting out at the ferry terminal. The first 20km had me on a country road through the middle of PEI. Rolling hills and very green it r…

9 hours sleep! Awesome!Today was errand day.We woke up in the Pictou YMCA parking lot and after a quick breakfast headed to the local Laundromat to detoxify my running gear. Like the age old question of why hot dogs come in packs of 12 and hot dog bu…
