(Backup) Sunday, May 21: leaving Manitoulin Island. Heading to Sudbury

 Well I slept a little bit better than I did the previous night but not that great.  It was a little chilly I had to sleep with my shoes on and that seemed to help. I got up was able to take  a shower since someone had towels the offer and ate   ome breakfast. As I left the cabin, I noticed that it was raining pretty steadily  outside. I went  with John and the gang to the conference center and there's one last meeting. There's    spiritual meeting. They had blueberry and cinnamon muffins with her very very good.  Switch some of the coffee since I had a real milk not that powdered crap. We all said our  goodbyes at the conference center. That was very nice. A lot of folks were waiting for their friend pick them up.   I get to take some pictures of folks. Good to take pictures of the folks at the end everybody's   illing to have their pictures taken. After that Kathy and I   ent cruising down towards Sault Ste. Marie. Along the way she showed me some very   nteresting sites. One of them was called the shoots which is a cool waterfall   near the town of Massey. The next was a memorial for the children held at   hese schools. They were basically Indian reeducation schools were children   ere maltreated for years until the late 70s early 80s. After that   e stopped over at the restaurant and ordered food. I would've my chicken   sandwich and these tiny fries that they sell. The fries are really tasty. The only problem is I left that   andwich in the car so I'm pretty hungry about now. Well, we arrived   n Sault Ste. Marie approximately 5:00 PM. She was my softball from the couch to crash on and to get my shoes   ried up in the dryer. They were mostly dry when I finished my nap. I napped for about an hour and 20 minutes it  was very much needed it's going to be a long ride back to Philly. I arrive in Philly   t 5:30 AM Tuesday morning. It's now 10:37 PM we are arriving in Espanola Ontario. This   s the closest big town to Manitoulin Island. I'm doubling back apparently. Learnt been texting to   eople and updating my Facebook photos to reflect the trip. There's really not much to take pictures of in the dark rain along the strip.   his bus is just about full. A few people just came on the bus @ Espanola. It rained the   ntire time between Espanola and Sudbury. I was  feeling OK but a little  wiped out. I'm hoping I can sleep   overnight while getting to Ottawa

Saturday, September 24: An Eventful Day. From Pitman to Berwin

 Today. I woke up around 930 got breakfast and then after eight my hero I was  so lost and I just felt really tired. I then had a difficult conversation and I really just went ahead and went back sleep till about 12:30 PM. I can read it Sharon and her customer. She had rented the upstairs to   haron shop at 7:06 North 24th. Now and her husband have a place elsewhere in Fairmount. Anyhow I just wanted to wait   or the seven bus as it went up to Center City. We got detoured way the hell away. And it's already   :05 PM and I haven't even stopped at the West Philly looking for a zip car to rent. Well I had two choices and    picked the car called a Honda Accord at 50th and Baltimore which is two blocks and where I need to be at 4 o'clock.    then took the car and mess with the USB for a bit because it was acting up but I got to work eventually. I didn't slip on down to Pittman  New Jersey. It ended up that I wasn't really all that late because they didn't even get their  meals yet. I ordered a wanton soup in several of my friends gave me part of their food that was pretty cool I think. I hung out and then split around 3:45 PM. I then realized I forgot to go to the bank to get my toll money so I had  to get off near Collingswood and flip around and find the ATM. I was able to find one pretty quickly and return the car about  three minutes late.   Well it's now 4:22 PM. I'm just getting to 48 from Baltimore at the church  I'm supposed to be at. Today seems alternate between being overcast and then being sunny with clouds.  Well I got there for three quarters of the meeting. I was pretty intense.
After that meeting we drove  to Berwyn and we took the scenic route &that was no problem since we had an hour and a half to get there. We went out to a comedy show. Meg


knew one of the opening comedians from one of her friends. Well the opening guys were OK. One dude was really kind of a little bizarre. He kept

talking about his bipolar. Is one good for Mark was about the Philly sports teams all  had
troubled individuals involved when I sampled with Penn State. They continue to deal with Jerry Sandusky scandal 
 implications. The headliner was an improvement. He did a pretty good Donald Trump dick. He did pick on his

audience and had some funny remarks. The people that make new were very nice and we chatted him up a little bit. One 
 of them is an artist. Anyhow, after the show ended we went back to Ardmore which did not take very long. Overall, it was a very interesting day with nary a dull moment for sure. I think Sunday is going to be a day to relax
