Leaving the city.

I've booked the bus to head up to Meaford earlier than I was planning to do as Geraldine and Darryl have suggested it would be better spending time with them while they are here and coming back to Toronto when they fly out to Costa Rica for they're honeymoon on Monday when I can return and do some touristy things. The bus is 3 hrs which in the scheme of things for me is short haul. As we are boarding the bus we can here a lot of commotion and as I look out the window I can see a dog and a woman shouting you can't deny access to the bus . I presume she's trying to get her dog on but 10 mins later the dog is boarding with a young blind guy and the woman is another passenger sticking up for him. Eventually we all board the bus and after six stops along the way arrive in Meaford 4 hours later. Daryl is waiting to collect me and it's perfect time in to go and collect Geraldine from work. After a little tour of the town we had to the pub and grab a bite to eat and a local beer. The home where they leave is lovely and they've kindly offered me to stay here bar the wedding night of course. The house sits on the waterfront and Geraldine and I sit out on the porch preparing the gift boxes of which there are 70. We blow up an inflatable mattress and sit doing craft making watching the world go by. There are a lot of big bikes with Harley's having full on sound systems and people on skates wheeling their dogs. it's a real community here. In the evening one of Geraldine friends drove a jolibee in for us so we take a picnic with it to the beach. It's really crazy as I don't really associate beaches with Canada but they are all so beautiful. In the later evening we head back to the house and chill. We are all exhausted.Read more
