When I went to the van to change to sandals, I noticed a large bag of potatoes, so I commented to Mom that she bought a lot! Apparently Mom and Dad saw a roadside sign at a house selling potatoes. They stopped, went up the house and to their surprise, the lady took them to her garden where she started digging out potatoes! We had some with dinner tonight and we'll be eating some as part of breakfast and lunch tomorrow!
Today was also the most we've interacted with others while cycling. We had a girl about our age drive past us in her SUV pull over, get out of her car and wave us down. She was hoping we were locals and was a little disappointed to find out we're from Ontario. I guess there aren't a lot of female riders in St. Leonard NB and she was hoping to make some new riding friends!
We (and that means Liz and her phone) also helped out a pair of gentlemen who are doing a cross-Canada trip. They weren't exactly sure what road to take in Grand Falls to best get to Fredericton, so Liz pointed them in the right direction:) They think we're good New Democrats for raising money for the Stephen Lewis Foundation haha
Finally, we'd like to send out a loud, thunderous CONGRATULATIONS to Uncle Bruce and his new wife Ruth who were married today. We're looking forward to the celebrating with them in person when we get back!!
