Day 21. 7952Km. Happy Summer! I can't say enough about Satellite Radio. I have Sirius. I can't imagine a trip like this without it. I suppose I'd listen to my iPod but even that would get old fast. Any channel any time. LOVE IT! The government spin doctors are at it up here. There is a Northern Roads Program in effect and everywhere there is road construction there are signs plastered up all over.

I had these amazing thin pancakes and poached eggs, while my hubby had french toast and sausage. It was truly a fantastic breakfast and we felt like we were in scandinavia for a brief moment. It was definitely the place for a weekend breakfast as the line was out the door all morning. Apparently Thunder Bay has a huge finnish population because so many "bushworkers" came over from finland in the early 1900's. Many people around town have blonde hair and blue eyes... Hoito started as a co-op ... read more
