Flash, crack, goosh - this afternoon we worked on the blog at the Antigonish public library while waiting out a particularly torrential thundercloud downpour. Happily not a day of riding. We had an 8:00 AM sleep-in, a very nice continental breakfast with home-baking, and an industrious morning of laundry; bike care, including checking tires for glass and stones, wipe-down, chain lube, adjust gears and seats, brake check; sewing torn rain gear; and a stroll into town for yummy lunch (best seafood chowder thus far!).  After the heaviest part of the showers, we walked about to see some shops with hand-made local crafts as well as an art gallery.  Antigonish is a very pretty town!  At coffee this afternoon, we saw the people who we met at breakfast at Colby House in Sydney - they were surprised to see us and we might see them again, as they are headed to PEI!  After a bit more time blogging at the Antigonish public library, we headed to our 8:00PM dinner booking at Gabrieau's (yes, the same place as last night - the menu was so fantastic we wanted to try some more of their plates).  Our rides in the next two days are not so long as the past two, and then we have two nights (Sunday & Monday) in Charlottetown (today we booked a safety check of our bikes at a Charlottetown bike shop on Monday).
