... br>Und das hat sich trozt der kurzen Zeit definitiv gelohnt. Es war einfach traumhaft bei strahlendem Sonnenschein zwischen den unaehligen Inseln herumzupaddeln. Vieleder Inseln sind Privatbesitz und es stehen Wohnhaeuser auf ihnen - das waer auch was fuer mich so fuers Wochenende oder oder die Ferien!<br><br>Es sollte auf manchen Inseln auch Straende geben, die wir allerdings nicht entdeckt haben und die auch nicht auf unserer Karte eingezeichnet waren.

We streched out our mattress pads to sit on to eat and then took naps. Carmen took out her sleeping bag for the sun to dry up the moisture.

It was quite tasty! <br><br>I am going to try to add photos to this travel blog...but I forgot the cord to transfer photos to my computer!

Went to the Children's Museum (free). They ...

... While walking through the shambles it's somehow easier to imagine the streets as they must have been during the times when they were built. It must have smelled horrible. Went back to the convent and made ourselves a stir fry for dinner - not the best but okay. Watched some t.v. And played some pool and a game of Mastermind. Both exhausted again - I am having a horrible time with the jet lag this trip.

Senica and I went for along and scenic drive through rural roads to Westport. We saw lots of lakes and stopped for dinner in the small tourist town of Westport where the Big Rideau Lake meets Wolf Lake. We climbed Foley's mountain after dinner and had a nice lookout over the town. Then we meandered through the quiet streets before driving home.

We opted to get him a travel towel because he didn't have one, and we weren't sure if the Casas would all be providing them. Another unknown.

Senica and I took a long drive today. It was lovely to explore the area. We were definitly travelling on the scenic route. I have never seen Wolfe Lake before, nor driven all the way around Devil Lake. We had a lovely dinner for two at a Greek Restaurant in Wesport.

I spent the Thanksgiving weekend with Nick. Saturday morning we visited Fort Henry, which is across from the Military College. We spent the afternoon shopping. Watched the movie "Road Hawgs" in the evening. Sunday we had Thanksgiving dinner with one of Nick's old Air Cadet Squadron's friend from Calgary who is in second year at RMC. A few pictures from Fort Henry and Nick goofing around.
