Finally, after a 10 hour drive, and 918 km later, Gromit made it to the Ferry at Port Aux Basques, NL

I am loving these pics. Not loving that you will be without internet for such a long time though. I think Gromit looks just a bit sad, too.

What a cool idea... only I know that wasn't a self portrait because Grommit took it. Give credit where it's due.

Also, I can't believe you got all that stuff in (and on) the Jeep... I suppose it helps that you are driving solo (Grommit doesn't take up that much space).

Do we have to start calling you Wallace?

A very cool idea indeed...it makes me think...
But aside from that, it's nice to have one last goodbye from you, Luci (and Gromit).

Day 2 - Nova Scotia
