On the Road. February 17th 2011

Durham, Thursday 17th February, 2011
For February in Durham, 2011, the temperature is very good - +7c.  Thank you Mother Nature.  This is a good start for our trip.                               294014

Left Durham at 2.15 p.m.  Had a really good drive into Fergus where we left Joey (the Killer Budgie) with Natalie.   With a little while to kill before Natalie actually finished work we decided to see if it was convenient to visit with our very dear friends, Andrew and Elena.  Luck was on our side and we we had a fantastic couple of hours with them.   Finally got to meet the new addition to their family, Fletcher, the adorable "Puppy".  We are actually heading to Tucson AZ to visit with Andrew's sister Allison and brother in law Norman, after we have spent some very valuable time with our family in Charlotte NC.

When Natalie had finished work for the day we all had a good visit, then I packed a picnic supper and then Mike and I headed off on our trails.

We had a good drive to the border in Fort Erie, and crossed into US without any problems.  From there we continued to the first Service area , Angola, where we would spend the night.   Arrived there about 9.30.p.m.   Had our picnic supper and retired for the night.   We hope to be able to get as far as Wytheville Virgina tomorrow evening.                                  294306
