      • A New Record and Home
        07/13/08
        We pulled into our driveway in Leonardtown this afternoon after 3,598 miles and 17 days of adventure.

      • A New Record, 16 Days Out, and One To Go
        07/12/08
        We are at 3,363 miles now. It's day 16 and we're in Trexlertown, PA near the bicycle Velodrome.

        We survived St. John, Armpit of Fundy. We crossed back into the US without incident at Calais, ME. The guy took our passports, looked at our bike, said "You can't have much

      • Ann of Green Gables Beats the Hell Out of St. John: Film at 11
        07/08/08
        Went to Cavendish, PEI this morning to check out Lucy Maud Montgomery's house on which she based Ann of Green Gables. Got a few postcards and had a Raspberry Cordial and a picture of Betsy in a goofy hat with fake red pigtails. She looks about how you would expect her to look in a straw hat wi

      • Our Feet Up in Charlottetown, PEI
        07/07/08
        Today was a day off for the pilot. We got up, had a leisurely brekkie, and then walked the streets of Charlottetown, PEI. Not a big deal: lots of shops that cater to the tourist trade, but a nice harbor (harbour as they spell it here). We walked along the waterfront down to Victoria Park. Children w

      • Cape Breton, the Cabot Trail, The Harbor at the End, and the Indians Who Say "Eh!"
        07/06/08
        We didn't get out of the charming Scottish village of Antigonish very early. We got sucked into blogging for a while, walking a bit of town, and then I was beating on my Aerostich pants with a screwdriver and a socket wrench for a while. One of my snaps broke and while I had the Aerostich "

      • Cead Mille Failte from Antigonish, NS
        07/05/08
        It's been a full couple of days since we wrote. Thursday morning we got on the CAT high-speed ferry to Yarmouth, NS from Bah Haaaaabah. Our plan was to spend the 3 hours poring over Nova Scotia maps and plotting our course North. HAH! There's that slow duck on opening day of the season thi

      • PHOTOS POSTED
        07/02/08
        Y'all,
        We posted some photos. Hard to find an internet cafe that can do everything we want to do quickly, media-wise. We'll keep trying, but you may have to wait for other than text.
        Off to Acadia.

        Fooooooooooogggggggg. That's what a foghorn sounds like and we

      • Return To Norway, Being Noble, Downeast Maine, and Baaaah Haaaahbah
        07/01/08
        We reluctantly left Vermont and the Gray Ghost in the capable hands of Magnus and his beautiful Scandanavian tribe of women and headed across a route he gave us to Maine. No stops in New Hampshire this time save for lunch. The goal was to relive a bit of a memory for Betsy, wherein her family of (th
