Day 41 - London Rain is Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down

The trip from London to Brantford, Ontario today was punctuated with showers, and we were lucky enough to dodge most of them.  Those who left early this morning found themselves in light showers after heavier morning rain, and we all found the wet roads to give us "rooster tails" on our backs and splatter on our glasses as we rode along the way.

Here's Drew in his rain outfit (booties, knees and a vest), and next, Holly & Gardner in full rain coats.



 We found Greg after the showers had abated and the rain had stopped. He looks happy to be cruising along under drier conditions.




 




We stopped for coffee along the way, and found this wonderful store that served us hot coffee, doughnut holes, and a good helping of stories.  We found that the shop also held the postal office which was manned by the postmaster of 35 years, who is also the great-grandmother of 6 boys.  Having encounters such as this is of the best parts of bicycling over all these miles through small towns.







Tomorrow - Back in the USA!  On to Niagara Falls, NY!
