Day 1
The flights were uneventful. I was on the same plane as the women’s dragon boat team, Warriors of Hope. They race Saturday and Sunday, and I hope to go see them race at some point.
I knew it would be humid here, but I wasn’t really prepared for the wet slap in the face that hit me at the airport. Caught the shuttle into the city and marveled how much Nova Scotia and North Bay have in common in terms of landscape.
Was struck again and again by waves of nostalgia while walking around. A little sad that the pizza place where I used to get steak subs I still dream about, is gone.
Napped. Well, slept like the dead for almost two hours. Getting up at 4am is hard.
Eventually decided to go for supper, and ended up at a microbrewery and had a fantastic cider-like beer. And this ended day 1.
