Today was a looong car day! We’ve driven over 1200km since we started. We try to break up the drive in 3 hour chunks, which usually coincides with when the girls get antsy. We left our friends in Belleville this morning (funny how distance and time are related, it already seems like so long ago!) Our first stop was in Ancaster, Ontario for lunch. Despite the cold, we had a little picnic.
I was apprehensive about the border crossing into the USA, but it went really smoothly. The agent asked Z if we were her parents and she just stared… Thankfully the agent didn’t seem too bothered by her lack of words!
Next stop was in Detroit, Michigan, to buy some dinner. We went to a Whole Foods there and I had a very odd conversation with a woman in the bathroom after having changed diapers. It went something like this:
Woman: “oh you’ll know this - when is summer in Paris?”
Me: “summer in Paris? Um um… April?…”
Woman: “right… April till…?”
Me: “September?”
Woman: “April till September, see I knew you’d know this.”
I feel bad that summer in Paris definitely does not start in April, but hey, it was a very odd encounter. It was our first time in Detroit and from the looks of it, it is very bleak. Not the nicest city.
We continued on and our plan was to camp tonight but it was (is) raining! So we rented a cabin instead and it is just wonderful. Exactly what we needed. We had a great dinner using our new camp stove Biolite. Hopefully the girls sleep well!
