Monday, October 8th (aka Canadian Thanksgiving) 2007, ~2250miles.
Hello everyone. We have, after great emotional strains and unforeseen customs-related hoop-jumping, left our homeland and ventured into mapleleaf territory. Our arrival in the aptly named city of "Thunder Bay", Ontario happened to coincide with our northern neighbors great thanksgiving-day celebration. While this is confusing and slightly humorous, it also threw a small wrench into the cogs of the odyssey. Turns out that over 2,000 miles can cause wear on parts not limited to my butt. The rear hub of my bike has loosened up a bit, but of course all bike mechanics in Canada are enjoying turkey dinner as I type this, not fixing my wheel. Due to this fact (not to mention the horizontal rain falling in giant hollywood movie style sheets) we are taking a short day here and, sigh, springing for another hotel night. A very tough decision. Seriously though, 1:1 exchange rate?! Ouch. Come on economy. Luckily, the "Montana Grill", home of '$4.99 A Pound Hot Wing Mondays!' is located next door, if only it was per kilo... I'll let you know how it goes. The next couple posts should be more topical, and cover some of my final reflections on the great state of Minnesota.
Adieu,
~Tamaso
