We are traveling through Canada's banana belt, which is actually south of Detroit, the same latitude as Northern California and it receives the same weather systems as North Carolina. It is hard for me to realize I am in Canada because the weather feels so tropical. We have warm humid days with warm rain. We're seeing a great variety of crops: corn, wheat, soybeans, asparagus, apples, cherries, blueberries and even tobacco. This is not how I pictured Canada. As we ride closer to Lake Erie, the breezes are keeping us comfortably cool as well as propelling the many wind turbines which are in this area.
Our route was mostly flat until we ran into a steep spooky hill just as we turned the corner onto "Spooky Hollow Road". We then had two more steep hills to climb out of the tiny hamlets our road was winding through.
When Carol and I arrived in Dover we again had no idea where to find Pam. Carol tried "Tourist Information" while I tried the church across the street. I got lucky as Pam had left a very large note informing us of our location for the night. We had two rooms at the lovely Wilson Family B and B donated to us by Melanie Wilson. It was a short two blocks to the beach on Lake Erie and Pam and I enjoyed a lovely dip in the mid 70 degree water. It was heaven after a long ride.
After exploring the town, where we got caught in a rainstorm, we found dinner, bought food for breakfast and turned in for the night, ready for another long day tomorrow.
