The weather is cooling in the Gold Country and I have once again garaged the Vespa in favor of warmer and drier transport. Dang! If I could just ride year round!
But I spent the month of September pretty much in other countries. First a visit to Canada with four people I love to travel with: my lovely wife Phyllis, her mom, her sister and her sister's husband. We went 'up north' to see Ken and Peggy (see http://lifeincanadaeh.blogspot.com/) in Guelph, Ontario. Then we drove around Lake Huron stopping in Tobermory, Sault Saint Marie, Macinac Island, and back to Guelph. Travel tip of the day: Never use Both a GPS and a map to navigate. As the Chinese proverb says "A man with one watch always knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure."
It was a wonderful trip, aside from navigational anomalies, and I highly recommend the above listed destinations. We were on the leading edge of fall colors (maybe three weeks ahead of the good stuff), but nevertheless, stunning scenery! Especially the Agawa Canyon Train (http://www.agawacanyontourtrain.com/). I want to post some pictures, but I need to download them first. Maybe the next post.
Until then, Gotta Scoot!
