Cambridge - USA - Canada

Hi there everyone.
After endless pestering from one of my annoying sisters (you know who you are), I shall update this sucka.
So we moved down to Cambridge. The main reason for this drastic move was this little chap:



His name is Ben (or Beanz) and is quite possibly the best looking, most advanced, most genious bebe in about 34 years. So far we've been able to see quite a lot of him which has pretty much made the whole escapade worthwhile.


The other thing that's been upcoming for a while (and has so far thwarted job efforts) is trip to the US of A. We're about halfway through it now and I'm writing this while sipping coffee at the in-laws' kitchen table. We have already visited East Palestine OH (McTrustrys) & Allentown PA (Butlers).



Unfortunately due to our limited schedule we were only able to stay overnight but we did get to see everyone and catch up. Chris (uncle Chris that is) gave us a bolleke and we (well, I) sampled some of the local brews. We caught up with all of the McTrustry family news as well as hanging out with Beth, Mark an the kids.

We then hopped up to Toronto for our train ride to Vancouver. Luckily we had about a day to look around - which included a walk out to a lovely little place: Wanda's Pie in the Sky which sells huge slices of pie and vegan cup cakes!



That night we jumped on the train and trundled off towards Vancouver. We were in the cheap seats (obviously) and met quite a few people on the way - including a couple of chatty octogenarians (or so) who kind reminded us of the muppet hecklers.

About halfway into our journey we stopped in Winipeg, Manitoba and we took a bus tour through the parks and districts - including the sculpture park and flower garden.




Finally - 3 and a half days after leaving Toronto, we finally chugged into Vancouver Station, boarded a Greyhound bus and headed back into the States.
