Today a good portion of our journey was in wine country. Rows and rows of grape vines. The smell was amazing. In a number of the vineyards, they were harvesting the grapes. |
Distance Travelled via bicycle today: 44km
Distance Travelled via bicycle TOTAL: 247km
Today, the rain held off (until this evening) and we had a day of clouds and a few times the sun managed to peek through. I am not complaining because this is much better than the rain we cycled through all day yesterday. :-)

Tomorrow, we will make our trek across the boarder and into Niagara Falls. We will do a portion of the Freedom Trail in that area.
I went to university in St. Catharine's and didn't realized that Harriet Tubman lived there for a number of years and had re-located her family there while she worked fervently bringing fugitives across the border to Canada.
