Day 1: Sudbury to Chalk River

I was later leaving Sudbury than I had hoped.

Okay, a lot later.

Like, 10 hours later.

On the plus side, I *did* manage to squeeze everything into my car and out of the apartment. There was no room for my friend Anja, who I was supposed to pick up in Boston, but I figured I could just work that out later...I made it as far as Chalk River, where I stayed with my ex-stepmother and her mother in a house right by the side of the highway. I hadn't seen my stepmother in something like 9 years; it was a bit surreal.
