TO 2 Gravenhurst

It's taken a while but here is what happened after the Educator and the Apiarist were released from Lester B Pearson. First of all they were collected by Cheryl who transported them to the Avenue Road for their first night in Canada. A bit of travel talk was followed by some "chalk talk". Luckily the Apiarist was able to survive the chalk and the rest of the talk was based around travel!!!!!! Good night was had by all and a bed was much better for sleeping in than the Air Canada TUBE!!!!!


Following an excellent night's sleep and a great coffee the team headed towards 2nd Street School http://www.tdsb.on.ca/schools/index.asp?schno=2076 where Cheryl is Principal. A great School but I'm sure it's a long way from her time at Sutton Primary. http://suttonps.com.au/  The school was fun but I'm sure the children had a far greater variety of backgrounds than Narooma Primary. Oh well they say that variety is the spice of life. 


Following our visit to the school it was back up Yonge Street (Highway 11) and onto Gravenhurst. Thanks heaps to Eileen for the transport to Gravenhurst and to Diane's. Upon our arrival we reacquainted  ourselves with OUR CuRVey (and Diane and Marsha and Bryan). 


It was great to not only meet Diane but to have Marsha and Bryan there for our unofficial welcome. Gravenhurst is full of nice people and it is a nice place.  PRIL


 Unfortunately our CuRVy was a little "flat" but jumper leads got us going!!!!!!! We couldn't help ourselves and decided to make a detour before Kahshe Lake and the welcome from Pete and Lesley (and the bottle of their wine) made us feel totally at home!
