Thursday June 7. Afternoon

Lunch with the Liverpudlians.
Two charming ones at that.

Scouse Stew, a local poormans dish: onions, carrots, maybe turnips for sweetness, oxo, shin bones or mutton and lots of potatoes added in the last hour or so.

As to gardening, the Yellow Book came highly recommended. Small gardens in villigages, open at various times to the public; funds go to charity.

Wildlife Count so far (note: seen by one or two Boogs): two (2) bears, one (1) red fox, one (1) deer (or maybe elk), ducks, cows, horses, heron (?).

Friday. No signal for a day or so.

Bright sunny am with rivers and lakes dominating the landscape.

A few hours west of Toronto. Empty space. Canada appeard after three days of crossing to be, well, almost empty. Toronto and a few cities and then trees and water. The Vietnamese would ask "where have the people gone?"

Looks like we will roll in about 100 minutes late.
