Aylmer Express "MoHo" Extravaganza 2006

After our family breakfast this morning I depart to try to find internet access while the kids and Chantal do the MoHo school thing. I end up finding a café that is not even open yet but the guy is happy to let me use his wired internet connection. That has to be classified as one of the highest levels of friendliness that exists. So I sit in this guy’s office for two hours uploading a couple more days of blog entries while his employees role into work and get things prepared for opening. Then I join the others as they are finishing off a game of baseball at the local diamond. Hey, weren’t they supposed to be doing school work? After some baseball we grab some lunch then head off to complete the Wild Pacific hike around to the lighthouse. The sun burns off the fog just in time to let us experience the views of this path in all its glory. Absolutely stunning is about all I can say. We even saw a Bald Eagle. How lucky can we get? Then we sashay over to Laura and David’s place again for another dinner together. We enjoy some succulent salmon steaks for dinner on their balcony with the view of the setting sun dropping over the Pacific. After dinner we head down to the beach for another fire while we enjoy the final stages of the setting sun. So this is how the other half lives. I think I could very comfortably become a habitué here. We spend another wonderful evening with Laura and David although David had to check out early to put little Mitchell to sleep. The other three of us adults gabbed away while the remaining three kids played on the beach and then told ghost stories once darkness approached. Chantal and I were happy to finally uncork the silky smooth bottle of Merlot Syrah given to us by Jean-Marc and Sophie when we left for our big tour. Our instructions were to enjoy this bottle once we reached the Pacific Ocean. Mission Accomplished! We had a toast to Jean-Marc and Sophie right there on the beach to say thanks for the lovely bottle of wine and the directions on how to best enjoy it.

Today’s word:

habitue \huh-BICH-oo-ay; huh-bich-oo-AY\, noun:
