Wed July 26: Bonus Day in Fenelon Falls

 Sorry to get so behind in writing- the days just seem to keep on coming!

First thing on the agenda today was a 14-mile bike ride, along a gravel trail called the Victoria Rail Trail (that is unimportant, and will not be on the test).  It seems our knees might hurt from bike seats being too low, so we adjusted and had a good ride.  Will see about knee health tomorrow...

These are the 'falls' of Fenelon Falls - I think they would be much more appealing without all the DANGER signs.  So I have taken those out of the second picture - you're welcome...




It is JAMMED in Fenelon Falls.  We forgot that Quebec gets a 2-week Construction Holiday, and this year it runs from July 23 - Aug 6.  So some of this traffic is Loopers, much of it is local, and some is from those giddy Quebecois celebrating freedom, while construction projects all across Quebec lie fallow!

We feel lucky to have a spot on the wall with power.


Our friends, Missy and The Judge, took this pic.  She insisted on it.  He does actually have a name (Greg), but we think it's funnier to think of them like sitcom characters in the well-loved old show 'Missy and The Judge'.

It's critically important to try all the unfamiliar candy bars.  I made the local convenience store lady walk through the candy isle with me and point out anything 'very Canadian'! We will report back.

For dinner we split pizza (we had it ordered to the boat, which I thought was super fun) with Missy and The Judge, and ate up on our deck.  We are feeling lucky that it cools off at night...
