Our silence the past week was due to no internet or spotty connection while we biked through beautiful southern Ontario. Along the way, we met other enthusiastic cyclists and many friendly Canadians. Our final destination in Canada was Niagara Falls, where we spent two and a half restful days. We enjoyed viewing and photographing the majestic falls from many vantage points.

Some of the people we met:

Angelo, a native of Winnipeg, who's cycling solo from Montreal to Windsor. He told us of many other bike trips he's taken all over the world, since he works for an airline. I can't believe his wife stays home!!

A man from Hamburg who was staying at our motel in Niagara Falls enjoyed conversing with me, since he doesn't speak English. He grew up in East Germany, a place he described as a prison, which he fled in 1989. That explained his desire to travel everywhere he could. He's been to more states in the US than Ron or I have!

Angelo Rossi, a famous glass blower artisan from Venice who spent his career in Montreal and Niagara Falls. He spent at least 20 minutes with us telling us his life story and relating all of the famous people who have commissioned him, among them Elton John, Ringo Star, Jane Fonda, and Carol Burnett. After he related some recent difficulties, we had the honor of praying with him. His last words to us - "God is good! He makes such good wine, and I love wine."
