Silgrey Resort Bancroft

... los cinco grandes lagos: Michigan, Huron, Erie y Ontario. Nos falta el Superior. Como el límite de velocidad es muy estricto en ambos países, nos lo tomamos con mucha calma, parando en varios sitios, siguiendo con nuestra estupenda y sanísima dieta americana (Dios mío, sin comentarios, a las fotos me remito, habré engordado varios kilos.. cuánto echo de menos esos purés y pescaditos de San Francisco). El momento álgido del día fue cuando, emocionados, cruzamos la frontera con Canadá. Todos ...

... 8217;s going golfing in the morning because if he brought those damn things up here he better freaking use them.
Edit: While I have spent the day lounging and doing nothing….except noticing that my new camera IS ****ING BROKEN! It is a used camera and luckily it’s under warranty but come the **** on. I have no idea what is wrong with it but this piece fell out and it’s being weird. It doesn’t really effect me ...

... never done anything like that before. Just go somewhere for the sole purpose of taking pictures. That was something new for me.

After a while, we went back to the Lion's Hall, checked out the radio station and then went to the party. There were a few people there, but not many. That was OK, because I was not in a partying mood really anyway. I had come here to paint! So, that's what I did.

I noticed a big white sheet of paper on the wall with highlighters ...

The next day was much brighter but we couldn't spend another day looking at some water when there's other water to be seen. We drove up to Huntsville but there's nowt there other than somewhere to sleep on the Westside of Algonquin Provincial Park. We were promised wildlife and we managed to see a Moose backside and that was pretty much our lot. We did a loop walk to Bat Lake which meanders ...

... I have to go back and rent skis, which isn't' too costly but it's time consuming when I'm so anxious to hit the slopes - it's been over a year! The ski was great. Cold temperatures but not too cold. Great day. Great to be out on winter solstice enjoying winter!

Two hours West of Montreal is the capital of Canada - Ottawa. I figure I'm so close I might as well check it out. We have formed a nice close bunch of amigos in Montreal, so together, with a Canadian, an American and 2 Swedish, I'm taking an overpriced Greyhound bus to Ottawa. See you there. Coming soon... meanwhile,, check the next entries.

... alone. Dave's aunt Kim and uncle Ken put us up and, our whole stay there was an absolute hoot, excellent hospitality. In no time we were sitting around the kitchen table tucking into buffalo (kind of like venison but then again kind of not, very tasty) and watching the snow fall outside. Dave's cousin Kyle offered to take us around his work, a local indigenous-run casino. Having never really set foot in a such a place, Casino Rama was staggering, a blur of ...

We awoke this morning to the long anticipated rain showers, which pelted the tent for several hours. All of my research into the tent with the best rainfly paid off, as it weathered the storm quite well, keeping us totally dry inside. It's supposed to rain on and off all day, forcing us to remain in their tent or simply live with everything getting wet. It's the kind of weather that can challenge the most seasoned of ...

Today we checked out of the hotel and we're heading onto our next destination. Fitzroy Provincial Park is half an hour west of Ottawa, on the border with Quebec. Along the way, we stopped at fairly large farmer's market in Peterborough selling all kinds of produce and sausages, as well as miscellaneous handicrafts. There are farmer's markets all over the region, but they ...

... salad.) In the midst of the dinner, I am attempting to squeeze out some mustard when the whole top pops off instead, drenching me in bright yellow. I shriek and mop up as best I can with my napkin, giggling. What makes it even funnier is that everybody else carries on as if nothing had happened at all. Apparently they have a mustard-error policy similar to my family's **** policy: if someone is so unfortunate as to perpetrate it, the duty of ...
