Greetings from Westport, CT

After a marvelous stay in Maplewood, we are in Westport for the final leg of what has been an amazing journey----from our flight to Syracuse, NY in mid-October, drive across into Canada, to Kingston, Ontario for Don's 50th medical class reunion at Queen's, then on to Quebec city, to Prince Edward Island via New Brunswick, over to Nova Scotia by ferry followed by an incredibly scenic drive around Cape Breton, then down to Lunenburg with a quick stop in Halifax, and another ferry from Digby, NS across the Bay of Fundy to St. John, NB. After examining the famous tides along the Bay of Funday we headed back across the U.S. border into Maine, and eventually reached Maplewood. While there we made a side trip to PA to see Marcia's aunt Rose and Uncle Joe Gillies, who will be marking their 75th anniversary in February! We had a great time with Judith, Alex, Lucien and Mila before driving up to Westport, where we are relaxing before the flight back to the realities of life in San Diego. We expect to find the place covered by a thick coat of ash after the devastating fires in the region, and hope that rain will eventually arrive to reduce further danger of fires!

When we figure out how to post photos on this blog we'll select some from our 4+ week odyssey.
