I said goodbye to my dad and uncle at the Greyhound Station in Windsor, Canada. I would be taking the bus to Toronto. It was my first time crossing over into Canada, and I spent the 5 hour bus ride reading Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, and bought a sandwich from Subway on the 10 minute break stop halfway there. Thus I left behind my friends, family, and home and began my journey.

To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie.

From Toronto we headed towards the Detroit border crossing.  It was a lovely drive (do I say "lovely" too much???) and a lovely day (point in case).  We got to almost the end of Canada and decided to savour the moment for a bit longer on the beach of Lake St Clair.  We stopped and found a great spot to work on our tans.  It was  a lovely 10 days or so.  Next stop Toledo to visit Cleo's mum.  We also checked out Toledo zoo and I did the family-thing for a few days.
