So the summer is over. Some days are already quite cold, but the temperatures hoovering around zero are not what they will be in a couple months or so - minus twenty. It seemed like this day will never come, but here I am, already. Time flies.
 
My plan was to stay in Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton longer, work through the winter. Or at least work a bit longer, until the temperatures really drop. The news update is that the work finishes now, so the vacation comes a bit earlier than expected. I packed my things, put few items which I am leaving behind in a locker and a small cardboard box. I am ready to go.
 
It's been a good year. Ups and downs, as usually, but overall I have been the lucky person I have always been told I am. I am tired, but otherwise I am feeling better than last year. It was pure survival back then, but I made it. Seven months in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras, on three thousand dollars. I did it. This time I am more secure, and some security afterwards. Some piece of mind, what a comfort.
 
I got a lift to Granby, to the gas station from which I am taking a bus to Montreal. Too bad today they don't do apple cider delivery to Montreal, but I am not going to hitchhike. 25 dollars - my first expense on this trip. Let's see how it goes.
 
I guess all I can say at this moment is - see you Quebec next year, and wish myslef Bon Voyage!
 
There are several buses to New York, but most arrive very late or in the middle of night. I decided to take the late bus, 10:30 PM, and arrive early in the morning. The bus will arrive at Port Authority bus terminal in New York. That's in Manhattan. From there I must take another bus to New Jersey, to a place which is called Old Bridge. There is nothing in particular there to see, kind of isolated place and you need a car to be able to go anywhere except for the local A&P food store, but that's where my friend lives. I am going to visit him for his birthday, and then fly from New York to Managua, Nicaragua, on the 12th of November.
