Our start from Wawa was not without it's own little glitch. Apparently the Tim's in town takes special care to lightly oil its parking lot just after every rain so unsuspecting half asleep travellers can get in that weight lifting practice they have been missing. After I picked my bike back up, we had a quick breakfast then it was out to the highway and off for the day. One of our first scenes was one of the clouds trying desperately to clear the hills
As we continued down the coast, both Linda and I remarked at how similar the scenery is to the West Coast. This picture was taken from a road side lookout near Agawa.
Lunch saw us in the town of Bruce Mines where Linda spotted a German restaurant. A couple of schnitzels later and we were back on the road. We made pretty good time until just outside Espanola. We watched HUGE storm clouds roll in and were debating whether to put on our rain gear or not, when Linda saw 2 lightning flashes in quick succession. 
That was all the prompting we needed, and sure enough within minutes we were riding through a torrential downpour. We even had a lightning bolt strike the hydro poles right beside us. But ever the brave (or stupid) adventurers, we struck onward.
Now for those who have been following us, you will no doubt realize that our blog has been missing one very important tourist icon. Yes the big nickel. Well fret no more. I even managed to get Linda to lift it up so we could get a better picture of it
We are hoping to be home by this time tomorrow, so if you are in the neighborhood please feel free to stop by and I promise I will show you way more pictures of this trip than you could possibly imagine existed. No problems. It's just the kind of guy I am.
