Arriving in the Greater Toronto Area, Whitby!

KM 775

City: Whitby (87 413 pop.) (Greater Toronto Area)

Story:
I got in Whitby, where my mom lives and where I'm gonna sleep for the next couple days, around 5h30pm, the weather got nicer, now it's sunny and I'd say around 20°, my mom lives there since hum, almost 4 years now, she moved there to learn her english, she's doing pretty good now. Her job over ther is to take good care of Rob, is a 25 year-old guy living with a Cerebral Palsy (paralysie cérébrale), is actually really nice, always a smile on his face. And you should see his room, it's incredible, what he does is that he writes to celebrities all around the world to get their picture with their signature on them. And it's working, so far is having hundreds of them, the walls in his room are now painted with those celebrities faces.

After the welcome hugs and kisses, we went in the evening to Port Perry, a nice little town close to Whitby, it's on the side of the lake Scugog, it's where they shoot the movie 'Welcome to Mooseport' with Gene Hackman and Ray Romano. It's a beautiful place, a lot of nice houses and stores, the view with the lake, many canada goose (outardes). Seems like a nice place to be on vacation.

One thing interesting around here, is that the price of gas, after 11pm, goes down a lot, like 10 cents, instead of being around .90 it was more around .80, that's pretty good. I love that idea.

Price of gas:
0.805L

Soundtrack of the day:
Jann Arden - Where No One Knows Me
Lil Rob - Summer Nights
Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)
Avril Lavigne
Rihanna - Pon De Replay

Next Destination:
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
