Day 72 - Relaxing At 220 kph

It ended up raining in the early morning, probably from the passing tropical storm Leslie. Fortunately its passing was too far south to have much of an impact here, but I decided I'd take the day off anyhow. Charles dropped by around lunch with a giant lasagna then took off for his daily ride. Turns out he covers 7,000 km or more a year between running a pharmacy with his wife and generally kicking ass. After seeing Charles work this many kilometers into his schedule I feel I need to step up my game back home. When I finish this tour I'm going to have to hop on the road bike and put in some serious kilometers to keep in this new good shape.

I spent a while updating things using their computer until Charles got off work and took me for a tour around town in his truck. We checked out what I believe Charles said was the largest Acadian Flag and took a quick drive through Kouchibouguac National Park which is usually full of moose (not today, I am moose kryptonite). Hopefully Newfoundland will produce a few moose for me to gawk at.

After our little jaunt around town Charles then took me out in his Porsche Boxster and we drove incredibly fast. It was pretty amazing to ride in such a precision machine, she felt like she was glued to the road and accelerated at a frightening speed. I'm pretty sure this is the fanciest car I've been in and the fastest I've ever moved on ground. It was pretty frigging awesome. We checked out his pharmacy then returned home for some steaks. I met one of his sons when he stopped by then relaxed to some netflix before bed. Tomorrow I'll be hitting the road again and gunning for P.E.I.
