The weather was great for our departure from Windsor. Over the next eleven days, Katelyn will be cycling 50-100km daily on her way to Toronto and I will be following in a Toyota Prius hybrid as the support vehicle. Despite hitting a couple detours along the way, Katelyn and I both made it into Merlin without any hitches. That night was the real adventure though as we ended up going to the wrong church for our accomodation. After a couple of hours of waiting we decided we had misunderstood the arrangement and that maybe it was intended for us to camp out on the lawn. So we pitched our tents around in the backyard. Then at around nine oclock we got a call from a somewhat befuddled pastor wondering where we were. Apparently there are two United Churches with the same pastor. One in Merlin and one in Fletcher. We were at the one in Fletcher. Whoops. Since we were already set up, we decided to spend the night outdoors anyway.
On Tuesday we were up bright and early for our long haul from Merlin to Dutton. It was a beautiful day and Katelyn related that it was a very pleasant ride along the Talbot Line Trail. As for myself, I got in to town pretty early, and so had time to look around the main drag, check out the library, and most importantly confirm our accomodation! That night we watched Sisters on the Planet, a great documentary produced by Oxfam about four woman who are personally engaged in the struggle against climate change.
Oh, yeah, at some point we started calling the Prius Cameron Diaz.
