Sabbath Road

It was an early start to the day… on the road at 6AM is not unusual for us when we travel – but usually it is planned – today it wasn’t.  I was up at 4AM (Eastern) and wrote on the blog quietly – letting Al get his beauty sleep… when Al work up he looked at his watch, made coffee, got dressed and was packed all in the space of 30 minutes.  He was ready to go at 6:00 AM (Atlantic)…  trouble was it was only 5AM Easter… we left anyways!! The road out of Baie Comeau was a joy to ride.  Tight twisty road marred by some frost heaves – but all in all fun at any speed.  There were signs galore warning you of sharp curves… for about 50KM and then the curves kept coming but there were no more warning signs!! Manic 2 was the first hydroelectric dam that we came to.  I thought it was big.  I hadn’t seen Manic 5 yet!!  Just past Manic 2 I passed Al and went ahead so I could get a photo of him in action.  Let’s just say I had a little action of my own...

This morning (Sunday July 24th) I plan to just "enjoy where I'm at". I didn't get up until 7AM.  First time I have slept past 5AM since being on the road.  It felt good.  As planned last night, the two other guest met me (Cindy and Gail) and we made our way to the dinning hall where a continental breakfast was served.  I could have delayed and went for the full breakfast at 10AM... but it seemed to fit with my routine at home.  Toast and coffee. I have just spent the last two and half hours updating the blog with thoughts and pictures and with this entry I am done for now.  Off to read a book, maybe take a walk, have a nap, do some writing... just "enjoy where I'm at". Perhaps I'll take some pictures while I am out on my walk and share them this evening.  Until then... on the Sabbath Road...
