Hi family--

It has been really hot here in Canada.  We are staying in Edmundston, Canada, with Allen's brother, Guy and his wife Monette.  I have had a chance to meet Allen's family here and in Madawaska, ME., across the border in Canada.  It has been a respite from our continual travels, and we have been treated to some wonderful food and interesting family gatherings.  Now, I have a better sense of Allen's heritage.  There is also a bike trail which goes from here for about 90 miles.  (Rails to trails) We biked for two hours yesterday, then stopped at a French vegetarian Cafe for lunch.  Tomorrow, we head to Prince Edward Island for some good cycling--there is a trans-Canada bike trail across the Island--and then, on to Halifax to visit Allen's daughter, Kelly.  So, this journey is almost done, but it has encompassed well over 21,000 miles, a set of new tires, and lots of memories! will keep you posted, but wanted to let you know where I was.  Can't use my phone in Canada.  Love ya, Moom I hope Tess does well at school--and Good Luck, Brooks!  Moom
