travel notes: day 2

when butterflies attack

slow start today.
"the sheg" (Sheguiandah) to Little Current. had lunch in the park. that sign we saw that we swore said there was a Timmy's in Little Current was a total lie.
the woman laughed at me.
"i wish there was a Tim's here. you're going to have to go to Espanola for that."
Beebs and Bob were actually considering it.

Little Current to M'Chigeeng (formerly West Bay) was a crazy ride. very hilly.
M'Chigeeng means "village enclosed by stepped cliffs" in Ojibwe.

we picked some wild strawberries on the side of the road. so sweet!
started to rain a bit so we pulled into Gina's Restaurant to catch some cover.
Pam makes the best butter nut tarts! and the young guy working there answered all of our questions. such nice people.
saw a guy skid into the ditch going up a hill.
decided to go on the last 15 km to Stanley's Tent & Trailer Park.
got chased by a dog that bit my bag! it could've been my leg...
then Beebs got attacked by a monarch butterfly.
but there hasn't been a hill--yet--that we haven't conquered.

i've always wanted to live in a trailer park. a whole different breed.
i swear i just saw Ricky & Julian. and Stanley is like a younger version of Mr. Lahey.
