Counting Sheep

Well what can I say about the last few days besides I am SO tired of that truck. That cab is getting way to small and we are starting to annoy each other. I have definitely been rather grumpy lately. Yesterday went well as far as driving went. Except I keep missing the provincial signs as we enter the province. Or the camera acts up. It means Bill has been a dear and has found a way to turn around and go backwards and get me another chance. Today I caught Ontario's alright so that's good. :S


Manitoba yesterday was great. I actually really liked it (now we were traveling it in the summertime so I can imagine my opinion would change in the winter months). It smelled really good and was easy to navigate and our hotel was great. Bill even got a swim in the pool and we ended our anniversary evening with takeout dinner from Dominos and a sleep in a king sized bed.

The morning started off a bit earlier and turned out to be a long day. We crossed the border to Ontario today as well as crossed to the Eastern Time Zone. We crossed north through Kenora, Dryden, Ignace and then Thunder Bay. Beautiful wooded country. It rained a bunch of the trip but the worst part of it was we had no cell service for 8 hrs and it was single lane each way with a 90km speed limit. It was long going.

I did see a bear, deer and a moose! I've never seen a moose and this area is known for them. You have to be really careful if you travel the road by night because of the accidents with moose (or meece?).

Well I really have to go cause I am exhausted and tomorrow is supposed to be an 11h30min day (by google maps) which means more like 13 hrs our time before we have to navigate the city for a hotel.

We are thinking of extending our trip one more day just to keep the days from being so long.

Talk to you soon!
