Quarter to twelve, Pembroke/Pettawawa ON, the LaFrance residence. I feel so fabulous in contrast to how I felt some few hours ago...entirely thanks to the overwhelming hospitality of Mrs. LaFrance...and these wonderful inventions of civilization...houses! This morning's rainy and frigid start in Renfrew continued in a miserable fashion despite the slight rise we were given by encountering a few random Leaf fans at the Timmies where we ate our meager breakfast and gloated about the Sens loss. Finally reaching Pembroke at about 4, our goal for yesterday, after one minor crash and 51 lost horses (refer to Rainer's latest entry for further details but I'm pretty sure thats a record), we consumed, with great pleasure, our tuna lunch in the McDonald's seating area at Walmart...maybe more people will randomly eat healthy food in McDonald's and set an example, but thats besides the point. Our great talent and skill at wasting time while breaking in warm sourroundings...I think this is our strongest point on this trip thus far, and the drizzly view of 2 degree rain outside instigated a re-examination of distances and schedule resulted in our re-solicitation of the LaFrance's for a place to stay not to far from where we had stopped. Thus with arrangments made, and dinner purchased we set out for our destination, and with only the much welcomed interruption of Mrs. LaFrance making sure we were on track we arrived without further delay at the most wonderful of accomodations thus far...and perhaps never to be outdone.
As my toes warm with my heart as has so often been the case thus far, I go to dream of sweltering prairies and hazy mountain peaks...
