Mehr oder wnoger spontan haben Max, Eyad und ich beschlossen und ein Auto zu mieten und ein bisschen die Gegend zu erkunden.

Viel zu sehen ...

... this morning.<br><br>In the afternoon when we stopped on E. Kirby Rd at local market to stock up. I think it was a ShurFine. If you folks are out there, correct us with a comment and we'll fix it. Emily was really tired and stayed laying on the grass outside the store while we went in. Apparently she just conked right out. They made us the most amazing sandwichs -- huge and yummy. The ...

... walked back into town and shared some fish and chips from a place that had been recommended to me. We had planned to eat them out by the sea wall but it was windy so we figured they'd be cold before we finished so we ate it in the square. Very good. We've been searching for some crisp flavours to try that someone had told us about. We found them so boought 1 of each - chili and chocolate; hoison duck, cajun squirrel and onion bhaji.

... bus. Hopefully things get better. Except for a pee break we spent the morning on the bus. It's a nice small group - only 8 of us plus the driver/guide. Unfortunately the mix of people isn't the best. There's 7 Canadians; us plus a girl from Peterborough and 4 girls from Quebec. The other person is also female and from Phoenix. The guide is not giving us much information about what we've driven past which is frustrating. That ...

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.

... le Lac de Deux-Montagnes, on admire pour une dernière fois en 2008, les couleurs de l'automne qui sont très belles, mais qui inspirent trop le froid qui s'envient; on est heureux de partir. Nous arrivons au camping « Rideau Acres Camping Resort » à Kingston en Ontario, vers 12 h 30. Nous réservons pour trois nuits et nous allons nous installer. C'est un camping avec beaucoup d'arbres et les sites sont assez grands. C'est un camping qui nous plaît beaucoup avec la ...

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.

... on the boat. Just think, this will probably be our last home cooked meal for a very long time so it made it even extra special. We certainly thank the Hall's for a wonderful day. August 24 Only a few blocks away from the marina is the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes and the 3,000 ton retired icebreaker Alexander Henry. My cousin had served as First Mate on the Henry and I wanted to see his old ship. Volunteers staff the museum and acts as hosts on the ship. In order to try ...
