Going to the Bus Station
We left and it took around  40 minutes to get to downtown Sault Ste. Marie. We even had time to
stop at Starbucks and I got decaf Americano with soy. It was a little touch of home in Canada.

We went to go sightseeing. Well drove on the Trans Canada Highway going North. We first went to see Chippewa Falls. It was interesting. We went on a short hike which was very cool. Flo tells me the water level is way below what it was in the past couple years due to drought.

Thursday: August 4: First Full Day in Sault Ste Marie

It's been a funny day. I got up at 8:45am after staying up till 3am. I ate and went to a meeting at the cutest
Sault Ste. Marie
place. My friend Flo needed to help  her  disabled son deal with the water damage in his  bedroom. He
At Club 14
was upset & Flo got 2 fellows  to help. 
All 4 of us  spent the day moving all his stuff out of the bedroom.
We then put the items in Flo's storage unit.  The son lives on the 3rd Floor. There was no AC and it was hot & humid. Two other fellows helped and boy they were needed. We went back-and-forth

to fix and eat. She knew the waitress and this other couple that came over so all four of us just sat and

talked for a bit. The soup was pretty good quite frankly. Then she drove me and I saw the most

yet because of the Internet issue that has  already been discussed. We then went to Harmony Beach where

Flo's camper is located.
She took me to Lake Superior and put our feet in the water.

I then took the pasta I bought and cooled it all while Flo went to bed because she had to get up at the crack of dawn. The AA camp is tomorrow.  Another adventure for your favorite traveling man
