O Canada

This posting is a little overdue. We've been back from our Canadian trip since August 28. I should really be writing about our Labour day weekend. Maybe I'll get to that next week. Anyway, Stephen and I had a wonderful time visiting friends in Ontario. Here's a pictorial summary of our summer vacation.


First stop - Thain B & B
Susan, with Colin and Lorna (my godchildren).

Stephen and MVA

Spent a day on Martin and Sue's boat on the St. Lawrence River. No, this is not a picture of their boat. Well, that's not true... it is their dinghy. Anyway, Stephen and Martin puttered around some of the islands while I swam laps around the big boat.

Martin decided that Stephen should learn how to pilot the boat. I'm sure Stephen would have preferred to sit back and enjoy the scenery. There's a lot of traffic on the river.

Great shot of Martin and Sue.

Stephen and Lorna

Bonne fete a Colin. We celebrated his 22nd birthday.

So, after a three nights with the Thains, it was time to move on. Had a lovely visit with Bob and Willemien in Oakville

Then onward to the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.



Our wonderful hosts: Bob and Margaret.

Bob took us to one of Canada's National parks.

A short walk brought us to the Grotto.


Rock climbing on the Bruce Trail


Rock walking. Not as easy as it looks - especially for someone prone to spraining ankles.

Thanks again to all our hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Same time next year????
