We have left the Lincoln House this morning at 9:00 and stopped in at elains cafe in Milo. The owner came out to meet us and tell her story on how she got started, a real gutsy story and shows the character of people who decide what they want in life. While we were sitting on a porch outside finishing our breakfast , a man came out of the main dining area and asked us how much would we pay to hear the Canadian National anthem in both of our languages, would we pay him 5 dollars, he sang us the anthem in both languages, when we saw the postman come up and the guy who sang the song said that the postman was his 4th grade student, at first thought I thought the man was a little short on the brain department. I asked the postman what the story was on the man, he was his fourth grade teacher and that he was a local historian for the Maine state and in fact was his teacher and that he had 4-6 books published. This guy still takes the kids around once a year and takes them on a tour of the mines. We drove about 400 klics today and decided to stay in St Johnsbury. Met another couple of people that has gone from BC to Nova Scotia,'made friends with them over dinner and we went back to our rooms and chatted till 1100 pm. Eric is semi retired and Karen and him have been on the since June 15th, I thought we had traveled a long way. Well we have met many nice people during our travels and are now going to start poking our way home. We stopped in a town called Dexter and met a man in a wheel chair who had lost the use of his legs in a motorcycle , deer accident , his name was Guy Sargent and had many stories to tell, he has the goal of getting back to riding a bike again, exchanged emails and will be in touch.
