HOME SWEET HOME

April 14th at 8P.M. we crossed into Canada via Sarnia. Claiming all the items we had purchased in the US since November 05 we were about $500 over our limit. We got a sympathetic male custom officer who said, "You are okay". We spent that night in the Sarnia Wal-Mart.

Our new GPS informed us of every Tim Horton's Coffee Shop within 50 Km. So in the morning we got our coffee and were on our way. Thanks to the GPS we took the most direct route to Durham. At Clinton, on a small secondary paved road, we encountered a very old stone one-lane low railroad bridge. With a lot of help etc. we made it through with less than 2 inches to spare. This was much like the overhanging trees of Savannah.


We arrived in Durham at Ruth's sister Isabel's and brother-in-law Darrell's home before noon. What a change Ontario has made since we left. The roads proceed in organized straight rectangles, all under brush on the sides of the highway and around the houses is trimmed and everything looks tidy, tidy, tidy! It is great to experience new places, but it is good to be back home in Southern Ontario. However our home is always with us and home is known to be where the heart is. We do miss old Miss!
