August 27 - Dartmouth/Halifax - I still have to meet up with my sisters who have planned a cycling trip through Prince Edward Island. Unfortunately, they have already left by car from Montreal which means I can't contact them to let them know I no longer have my bike. Thankfully Wade (who I met in Washington) has taken pity on me and bestowed on me maritime hospitality including: ferrying me to the bike shop, giving me a place to stay and stocking the fridge full with beer. :-) Aside fom drinking all of Wade's beer, I managed to rent a car [View Full Entry]

25Aug07 - Liscomb - Let me start by stating that I'm alright and I was not injured at all despite what you might think by looking at the pictures. Today I started out from Sydney where I stayed the extra night to avoid a large rain storm. I'm on my way to Wade's place (a friend of Lisa's) in Dartmouth to hangout for a couple of days before traveling to meet up with my sisters in PEI. The first sign of trouble was when the video camera mount broke while I was riding. I managed to catch the camera before it [View Full Entry]

19Aug07 - Maine - On my way back to Canada through the border crossing at Calais, Maine. I stayed a couple of nights over the weekend in Augusta. Then rode to Machias ME before crossing the border. Along the way I had to checked out the blueberry pie, coffee and ice cream at Wild Blueberry Land in Columbia Falls. It's scenic along Hwy 1 and surprising free of traffic. It wasn't until I Robbinston I ran into a lot of road construction which might have explained the lack of traffic. [View Full Entry]

12Aug07 - Rhode Island - Experienced my first real seafood along the coastal waters at Mystic Bay. Spent two days at the Sheraton by the Providence Airport. It was right beside the airfield so I got to watch up close the planes takeoff and land. At one point there was a thunderstorm which grounded all the planes and left a line up of aircrafts. I felt sorry for the poor air traffic controllers as the weather cleared and the ensuing meyley of planes landing and taking off. Wandered into the city and visited Brown University where I picked up some souveniers [View Full Entry]

02Aug07 - New York - I've finally arrived at the Ramada in Jersey City after riding the Tatonic Parkway from upstate New York and slowly roasting at snails pace crossing the George Washington Bridge. I'm so burnt out from the heat I nap the rest of the day away. I'm determined to make the most of my remaining two days in New York so I've devised a plan to see as much of the city. 03Aug07 - Hopped on the PATH train at Journal Square for the 33rd street station. From there I walk to the Empire State Building to get [View Full Entry]
