Landed in Halifax on Monday. My destination here was to arrive at Mort's home near the downtown area. Mort is one of my professors from my Lakehead U. days, some 35 years ago. Thanks to google maps, I've been able to get to everyone's home so far but Halifax was going to be a challenge. These very old cities weren't built with a municipal (road) development plan in mind so I had discussed the best approach over the phone with Mort. On the outskirts of town, I met up with a local biker and asked him for directions. He said: "... Easy. Follow me."
I love the biker community.
This particular stop is different from my others. When he was lecturing at Lakehead, Mort gained my respect based not only on his knowledge and intellect, but also on his down to earth attitude. No pretentious, arrogant doctor/professor was he. I even spent one summer working for him at the U as a student researcher. Good memories. We've been doing some serious catching up on family and peers and he's committed to being my guide for the day. We'll be heading to Peggy's Cove this afternoon.

Bob,
ReplyDeleteThing are going well I see. When are you starting the trek back west and when are you going to be with the boys in North Bay? Ryan is going to make it out to Sturgis and meet me there, he is going one day late because of a work commitment. Rick, Deb's husband will be traveling with Carole and I. Another 9 days and we're off again.
Thanks for the info. Ride safe.

I've just rounded N.S. south-east corner (Shag Harbour) so technically, I'm heading back now. As far as timing for North Bay ... I would guess a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well during the Sturgis R&R, particularly the weather and that the hail stays down to pea size, eh?
see you here soon..i've sent detailed instructions to your hotmail account
