So, before I go much farther with this blog, I need to tell you all about something very cool that we have been doing. We have become members of a group call Couchsurfers - www.couchsurfing.org - couchsurfers from all over the world register a profile on the site and then you can either host travellers or stay with people. There is no charge for this but the purpose is not to have free accomodation but to meet people from all over and share experience and culture, etc. So far we have had 3 sets of guests and we have one more coming next week and another in August.

This lovely couple is Denis and Heather from Wellington, Australia. They were our first guests.

This is Vicki from Mount Albert, Ontario. At 54, she packed up her life and is spending the next 3 years travelling across Canada. Her website is www.questacrosscanada.com.

This is Fabio from Ottawa. He and his two kids (both cuties) are travelling across Canada and the States.
