Toronto
7 maggio 2023, Canada
Spent the morning at Pinery Provincial Park, walked along the canal, then down to Lake Huron. It was cloudy but warm, made for an interesting transition from sky to lake.
The route to Toronto from the park took us through the backroads, which was quite beautiful much more interesting than the highways. Speaking of which Toronto traffic on a Sunday afternoon— No Thanks!!
Made it to Adriel’s at exactly the same time they got back from coaching. Perfect timing.Leggi altro

We managed to get our trailer fixed by a mobile welder who worked in the parking lot of a shopping mall. He did a good job though and added an extra piece to reduce metal fatigue from the tire vibration. Hopefully, we never loose this one again!
It was a beautiful spring day in Toronto so we watched Adriel’s first practice of the season in the sand and played a round of freezbe golf in the park.Leggi altro

Viaggiatore What happened to the trailer?? Oops, just saw the post about the spare tire falling off.
09/05/23RispostaTradurre
Viaggiatore The rack and spare tire just fell off, all the welds broke. Luckily we were approaching the border, going about 30km/h, instead of racing through Chicago at 110km/h.

Teams Canada won their first round matches this morning. Both women's teams and the lone men's team notched convincing victories. With three teams, we get to watch volleyball all day.
There was a strong rainstorm 🌧️ this morning at the start of the matches but settled down before Adriel’s first match. We are in a lightning delay right now.Leggi altro

Volleyball Wrapup
14 maggio 2023, Cuba ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
It was very much a weekend filled with volleyball. We watched, played, analyzed, talked and dreamt volleyball.
🏐🏐🏐🏐🏐🏐🏐
As you know we were following 3 teams which soon became 4, then 5, then 6, 7 … We made friends with a bunch of teams both men’s & women’s, mostly because we were cheering so loud.
We also rallied every Canadian we met at the resort. So we had the best crowd short of the Cuban teams of course.
In the end the girls finished 10th, with the other women’s team finishing 4th and the men’s team finishing 5th.
The girls spend a few days in Havana, then off to the Cayman Islands for another tournament.

Devin & Adriel games/scores:

vs Costa Rica 21-11, 21-13 (w)
vs Mexico 15-21, 13-21 (l)
vs USA 13-21, 8-21 (l)
vs Guatemala 14-21, 21-19, 15-9 (w)
vs Nicaragua 16-21, 21-16, 17-19 (l)
(This last one was a nail biter)Leggi altro

Well we have to say goodbye to Varadero 🇨🇺. A quick breakfast then we grabbed a taxi to the airport.

Catching Up
15 maggio 2023, Canada ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
After getting back from Cuba, we found that our tracking for the trip was turned off ☹️
So this is a random picture montage to try and rebuild our route.
We landed back in Toronto and shared a ride back to the car with two ladies that work for Volleyball Canada, what are the odds?
Then we drove to Kingston, Isabelle’s old university town for a quick jaunt down memory lane. We crossed back into the US, at Ogdensburg and followed the border for a while eventually heading south to Westbrook Maine. Isabelle’s great grandmother worked in the textile factories there in the late 1800’s. We then headed up the coast of Maine.
The state of New York was unremarkable, but Vermont and New Hampshire were very beautiful as was the coast of Maine.Leggi altro
