Yes I visited Green Gables, and you can make fun of me later;) I’m just on the run here but the trip is wrapping up soon! PEI was half interesting and half fighting bad weather and let’s just say I have some stories to tell…

Today I biked through my first chunk of Nova Scotia and spent most of the day climbing hills against the strongest wind I’ve had in a while, but the day wasn’t all bad: I stopped to pluck some apples from a tree hanging over a fence at a farm and had some cows run over from across the field and protect it… Then they chased me beside the fence as I left… I had a perfect moment in a section of old highway where there is a gauntlet of trees on either side, every color of autumn, the wind died down and provided a soothing breeze, the slope was slight enough for me to just coast down hill not too fast or slow, there were no bugs, no cars and the pavement was free of rocks and pot-holes… Ahhhhh, a perfect moment…

Later I met a lady named Gerda who wears a vest and carries a stop sign to help kids cross the road and she invited me into her home for supper and a bed to sleep in… Two hours later we were climbing through a tunnel with water rushing past as she showed me Wentworth Falls and the long straight hole it creates through the mountain (one of the coolest things I’ve ever done, other than bike across the country)

I plan to arrive in Peggy’s Cove on October 1st, probably later in the day, but certainly before dark… It’s hard to believe the trip is almost over, I don’t know if I want to stop! But it will be nice to relax again and throw away some of the things I’ve been toting around for almost three months that are almost useless and falling apart but still just useable enough to keep…

Anyways, I’ve got some tough decisions to make in the next week, so please pray for me and keep me in your thoughts… I have to rely on some miracles here, but that’s really the story of this trip…

God Bless
