Grimsby, Ontario
Two Guests on the Trail
Karuna and I began a second section of the Bruce. Known as the Iroquoia Section it is very scenic, especially now with autumn trees, cliffs that overlook Lake Ontario and fun switchbacks along cascading creeks. The overnight light rain invoked that great scent of fallen leaves. This is what Tamohara and Merumala from South Africa had not experienced before. https://brucetrail.org/places/08
Yes, their companionship became a surprise. Savya from Brampton brought them along to see, hear, feel, smell and touch what is Canadian. Other hikers were also encountering the same. This was the first time that we saw a good number of walkers since our start, which was only eighty-six kilometres back. We traveled at three kilometres per hour to do the trail—somewhat below the speed I'm used to.
Checking out apples and wild grapes is a continued pastime when roaming along a road, and when an abandoned fruit tree offers itself. Wild grapes give us vitamin C and they grow in various areas. Our group was curious to also check out the beach at Port Dalhousie, after the short walk. I think summer’s now gone, because a cold gale came in, and even created a haze of sand when it blew through the area.
Thanks go to Vaishnava and Janaki, local devotees, who supplied us with wraps and corn rolls. You know, The Guardian News is putting out a lot of information about the vegan/veggie diet which is increasing substantially in the West. Recently I was told India is 30% vegetarian. She and the world could do better. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/veganism
