Day 38 Mile 479-500

Ontario to Parma

Before leaving the motel I ordered flowers for mom for her birthday and 25th wedding anniversary! Good Job Riaz and Laura! Went over to Matsy’s Chinese restaurant for an early lunch and met Nicole who was lunching with her parents. Headed out to Nyssa. Nyssa had enough tractors and farm equipment to equip the entire state I think... just an army of different implements. I got into Nyssa and there were no real good places to camp the one motel in town had an office manager that was out visiting family and I would not have been able to check in until after 9:30pm. I went in to the A&W to visit and chat and kind of feel out the town and I met Jeanise, Kendra, and Kerrie. I ordered a Root Beer Float and spent over an hour visiting with the three gals and with other folks who came in and out of the A&W. Jeanise who lived out towards Parma offered to drive me around the scenic route on her break and to drop me off at a motel in Parma with good rates. So we went for a drive and I got to the Motel in Parma in time to watch the season finale of Heroes:-) It was a good thing that Jeanise took me on the scenic route so that I could go back tomorrow and walk Route 20 into Idaho and into Parma on my own feet.
