I have arrived...

This is a brief update for everyone who isn't (and is) on Facebook. I must apologize as I pledged long ago not to fall victim to that devious social networking site and exclude those who still hold their ground against it! I digress...

I made it safe and sound here to Belleville. Dana and I drove for what seemed like 4 days straight. Perhaps it was. Canada is large and seemingly unpopulated. We arrived on Saturday night in an exhausted stupor to find my new 1870's apartment just as described and my landlords as pleasant as I imagined.

I sadly sent Dana off yesterday after a few days of setting up and hanging out in the big city of the T-Dot, as the young people call it. Now time to settle in. I'll give more details shortly and need to work on a little face lift on this 'ol blog...as I have yet to see any giraffe and history tells me this Ontario ain't no Africa!

I'm off to try and find a running track...

Welcome to Ontario! I hope you settle in well. If you want to see a giraffe you should go to the African Lion Safari. If you ever want to come to the falls we would love to see you. You are always more than welcome to come for a visit or stay over!
