Day 35 Toronto Ontario... Home

Back home to Toronto (Sept 17th) after 12,860 km travelled:
On our final day of travel, we again had cooler but dry weather. That makes 35 days without getting wet. E started the day by changing the oil in our motorcycle. We then had a very good ride through interesting farm country on our way to Port Dover located on the sandy shores of Lake Erie. After that, we rode to Stoney Creek where E's mother and father gave us a warm welcome and we got reacquainted with our Cat. We had seen the perfect sign in a shop that suits our Cat...."if you don't like my attitude, get a dog".
Then the final journey home past the last Great Lake on our journey (Lake Ontario) to Toronto, where we had a pleasant surprise waiting for us on our dining room table....
regards to all,
Anne


 Oops - but thankfully, they wern't there to stop us!

What a wonderful greeting from a very good friend, whose poem reads:
Welcome home
Put down your bags
Kick off your shoes
Pour a couple of glasses of something bubbly (look in the fridge)
Sit down and put up your feet
Drink a toast to a road trip well done
Now Celebrate
