Dear Family & Friends,
Another few days of riding through beautiful country side, exploring, and more good sea food!
First day leaving Camden John took us on a short tour. First to the top of a local mountain with spectacular views of Camden, then past one of his child hood homes, what a wonderful place to grow up. Then we proceeded to ride north through lush green rolling hills on to Canada.
For all the horror stories we were told crossing the boarder, it was quick and easy. Hopefully it’s the same coming back.😬
I really enjoy all the small quaint little towns we have been traveling through with the eccentric cafes! Check out a few below.
Our first night in Canada we spent in a small road side motel where several other motorcyclist from Canada were staying and I swapped stories with them. Again they were very friendly once they knew I was not a Taco Trump supporter.
The next night we spent in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia with a great old fashion pub and restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and diplomatic. (No politics)
The next day we took off on a big ride around Cape Breton National Park. Lots of great scenery from coastal areas up into the mountains.
When we rode down by the water not only was it beautiful but it was a welcome change of scenery. Canada is very sparsely populated and densely forested so when you’re riding you see very little. You are basically riding in a tree tunnel!
About 2/3 around the park we stayed in a very small coastal town in a motel with beautiful views of the harbor and good food next door.
Today we road about 5 hours to Amersham. A small town. Our first time heading west back to California. We’ve already ridden 1500 + miles so only 3500 miles to go! The morning started out fine but the last few hours we had heavy rain. It was a long wet day. Tomorrow we will move on to Prince Edward Island where there is lots to see and hopefully the weather will be dry.
Below are lots of photos with more story attached to them.
If you click on this link there is a 11 minute video of us riding along the coast in the national park.

| Our trusty steeds waiting for another days adventure! |
 |
| Beautiful coastal views as we leave Camden, Maine, John’s home town. |
 |
| An Ariel view of Camden from the mountain we rode up. |
 |
| Interesting man I met. He has a BMW motorcycle like mine. Originally from San Fransisco he moved to Colorado but he commutes to SF on his motorcycle!! His motorcycle now has over 125,000 mikes on it with no major repairs!! A lot to be said for German engineering. He works in the tech business so I assume it’s not a daily commute… |
 |
| Another of John’s childhood homes. What a great place to grow in. |
 |
| Big chairs are popular here. They are all over and I’m not sure what they mean. |
 |
| Time for a lunch stop… |
 |
| These small dinners are my kind of place. Good food and lots of character! |
 |
| Lobster Benedict. Nice way to start the day. We usually ride an hour or two before breakfast so we are good and hungry! |
 |
| The sign on the back of John’s motorcycles gets lots of laughs and friendly greetings! |
 |
My shirt says “Don’t hate me…I didn’t vote for him”.
We’ve mades lots of friends here. We stopped for coffee and one man, a total stranger, bought us all Canadian flag key rings! I guess we are honorary citizens? |
 |
| Beautiful scenery everywhere. Crossing a bridge as we enter New Glasgow. |
 |
| A great place with lots of atmosphere ,friendly people, good food, and exceptionally good Blueberry Gin & Tonics! |
 |
| For dislexic Canadians..😉 |
 |
| An exceptional G&T! |
 |
| At one point we had to take a ferry to cross a bay. The total trip was about 2 minute or 100 yds.😆 |
 |
| One of the best meals of the trip. Lobster and bacon sandwich…..does it get any better than that?!?!? |
 |
| Along the cost of the national park. |
 |
| Quaint restaurant with good food, |
 |
| One great salad. Ceased Salad with bacon wrapped scallops! But their ceased dressing still isn’t as good as my wife Bonnie’s. Hers is amazing!! |
 |
While I’m off playing my wife is tiling the stairs to my garage with all my favorites…motorcycles, cars, travel, an The King, Elves Presley!
What a wonderful woman I’m married to!😍😍😍 |
