Day Four – Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie

I swear the days are getting longer and longer, melding into a big lump of a day with short intermissions of coffee, fast food and hotels. It also doesn’t help that we’re going back through time zones, and losing hours. Also, Ontario is too big... I mean, really. How big does this province need to be anyway?

This trip has taught me that I’m easily pleased. This is what I need to be happy:
1. Coffee (are we surprised?)
2. Music... constantly... preferably that I can sing along to.
3. Clean, un-scary bathrooms.
4. Hotel rooms that don’t smell funny.
5. Lots of activities to keep me busy.

I’m starting to get worried about moving to a small, quiet town. I just don’t deal well with silence, it actually causes me anxiety. I drum my fingers, fidget, twitch, shift around. Talk about a city girl. I’m sure you’ve all started taking bets about how long I’ll last, so I’ll get in on the action and bet that I won’t last five minutes, OR that I’ll resort to listening to my iPod at all times.

Our day today consisted of skirting around Lake Superior. Great Lake?! That thing is huge! It’s like an ocean, you can’t even see the other side! Close to the end of the day we managed to convince dad to go to Katherine Cove, a little beach area with soft sand and an area to paddle in (who knew that Lake Superior had beaches?) It was just heaven :) Here are a few pictures of our beach break!

Sandy Belal... He thought it was just the best thing ever!

Dad, Belal and Mum!

Me :)

Tomorrow is Ottawa! I'm really excited for that one, and will hopefully get to see some family too!

Love,

Gillian
