orienteering 17:00 [3] ***
15c
Gave a seminar at UofT yesterday, and stayed the night with family friends in Toronto. Headed back to the US today, with a stop in McMaster to talk shop with hammer and run next year's Canuck Champs.
Crossing the border was interesting. So you're coming to study in the US? No, that visa is expired, I'm coming as a tourist. How long? A month, maybe a little longer. And then you're returning to Ireland? No, I'm going to Finland. Why? Work. When do you start? November 19th. That's in two months, you said one month. Well, I might go to Brazil in the meantime. Why Brazil? My brother is moving there. Where are you staying in the US? I'll be travelling. Tonight, where are you staying tonight? With a friend in Toledo. What address? I don't know. How will you know where to go? I have a telephone number... ... ...
... funny thing is, they let me in, after a while.
I didn't quite have enough time to orienteer at Bishop Lake en (or off) route, sadly.
Cruised around Toledo in search of life that evening. It was a long struggle, but eventually we struck gold with a bar with live music and free root beer.
