After last night’s late ferry docking, I let myself sleep in until the hot sun woke me. Today I did laundry, cleaned myself up, ate good food and caught up on some journal entries. I also did a half day of riding to set myself up for an easy two-day journey into Halifax.
In downtown Digby I met Will, a fellow touring cyclist with much the same rig (and physique) as mine. Will is an ESL teacher from New York, is riding to Newfoundland, and is a very laid back, amiable fellow. He suggested riding together, but he needed to do laundry first and I was ready to spend my last riding days in reflection. I suggested lunch instead, and we headed for a restaurant he had heard recommended and had a fun time sharing experiences. The fish and chips were good, but the rhubarb and raspberry pie were… to pie for.
Delicious pie.
Will and tasty seafood restaurant.

I took an arterial road to get past some bridges and into the Annapolis Valley. The roadways are probably overbuilt in this area, as there are three running more or less parallel and none were very busy. I arrived in Bridgetown right at dusk and settled into my campsite. I took a walk about town and found the entire town was asleep.
I found myself busy with my thoughts today and this evening. With just two more days of cycling left, this seems like the moment to consolidate experiences and digest what I can.
Halifax on the menu!
