Gnrt Day 33 North Bay And Paradise

Today in North Bay, Ontario we decided to to slow down…to sit around… uncontested to take it easy and pace ourselves…as our friend Chandra has suggested We wonder if she was reminding us to pause to take tin the beauty that surrounds us….to contemplate…to behold or if she was worried we needed to rest because we're getting old. For whatever reason…today…for Chandra's sake we slept in…then with the sun's blessing kayaked on the lake. We paddled around Lake Nipissing…at a slow and easy glide with a cool breeze on our faces and a family of ducks by our side. Then we sat on the deck of our cottage…in the shade..a cozy nook where the only thing we had to do was relax and read a book. Today…like so many days on this trip…every day to be precise we've looked around at where we are and have said how this is paradise. From the mountains, rivers, lakes…the plains, the flowers the trees to the sunrises, sunsets, clouds…every cool morning and afternoon breeze. What we have discovered…and here I promise to be concise… is that, at least for us, there will always be…two parts to paradise. We believe finding paradise on Earth…is not a fantasy or a myth…. It's a combination of the beautiful places we have been… and the person we're sharing them with. Which means if we're lucky…and so far this has proven to be true the where is important to finding Paradise…but not as important as who. So thanks you Chandra for your concern… now that we've had enough time to recover we'll be back on the road tomorrow… we have more paradises to discover
