Shakespeare, Stratford and Swans June 16
Today I will be able to check off another thing I want to do during my lifetime, we are off to see Macbeth at Stratford. But first we must get our web site updated while we have the opportunity. So it's...
Across Canada
Old Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, and Niagara-on-the-Lake
Thanks to the Dodge Dudes in Kitchener, our truck sounds less like it is running on diesel now, and it has the okay to carry on with this trip. We are off on the backroads to Fort Erie and that route...
Next day … TO
My birthday today ... not quite 50, so it isn't a big deal. Dorothy is going to Toronto for work and suggests we come with her. The truck is in for a much needed servicing today, Oscar, Oreo, and Buddy...
Out in the Garden again
We are off to visit the Royal Botanical Gardens today. They are located in Hamilton and so it should be easy from here. Of course we manage to get turned around trying to get out of Kitchener, but it...
Kitchen … oops, Kitchener!
We plod along the backroads for a while, amazed at the 'every-other-acre-by-the-lake-mansion'. Either building a monolith is less than expensive here, or every other person is a millionaire! There...
Pelee Day Two
It's raining cats and dogs, so we decide to do our laundry! We are just nicely started when it quits raining and starts again as soon as we are finished. Bad timing or what? We head to Pelee and the...
Point Pelee
Well we can go no further south on Canada's mainland. We could, of course, take (are you ready for this) another ferry to Pelee Island. But we still wouldn't be as far south as you can go. Middle Island...
Early Starts
It was already, or maybe still, 21 degrees at 6:30 this morning. We had agreed to make an early start to the day to avoid the heat of the afternoon and so we blast about getting the necessary things...
Heat
It hits us today like a blast furnace! This is the first, true southern Ontario hazy, hot and humid day. We do not travel very far today due to a very late departure and the heat. We opt for the beaches...
Forever southward ho!
An early start to the day has us following highway 21. We aren't sure of our final destination, but we know we want to stop and see a lighthouse and a cheese factory and store along the way. I'm quite...
Tobermory Town
Lawrie requests the day off ... and I concur! So it's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood (thanks Mr. Rogers) and what better neighbourhood to see than Tobermory. You would think we were by the ocean...
