Day 57/August 25 – St. Catharines to Byron – 124km





So today we left this beautiful country, my home – and I’m sad about it. But luckily on the other side into New York the roads were nicely paved, and the shoulders were huge. I must say, biking in New York has probably been the kindest for my poor little tires.

We were able to bike over the rainbow bridge today too – for those that don’t know, that rainbow bridge is the bridge that goes over the Niagara falls – so sweet.

So we bycled, stopped for ho cho (aka hot chocolate) and a peach - sorry, but the peaches are better in Canada. Oh we also stopped at this driving range that also had ice cream – yep went for the ice cream, I hate golf. I did hit one ball went about 75 yards – yeah, at least I hit it. Dumb golf.

The ride was just so beautiful, I still cant figure out what it is about biking that’s so awesome. I wish I could describe it – I told Theresa that if I had JRR Tolkein on my side it would be no problem – she said “read his books, and you’d be able to do it.” Now if I did do that – this blog wouldn’t be completed, probably ever SO I’m not gonna – sorry friends. Just take my advice – its beautiful and I love it.

We stayed at a state park tonight where there happened to be a band consisting of string bass, guitar, and violin who were camping there. It was really neat – they played for us while we had smores. It was sooooo (I’m going to butcher this because I don’t know the correct dutch spelling) ghazeligh – feel free to correct. Whatever the spelling – it was sweet.
