Well, we have attended two of the programs at the workcamp and delivered desserts to our Indiana three, but mostly we've been exploring around the area. We went to the "Lift-Off" last weekend which included a hot air balloon festival and the "Ontario's Strongest Man" contest. Those guys lifted all kinds of stuff and even pulled an eighteen wheeler down Water Street! (The trick was to see who could pull it the FASTEST!!) We spent another day at Upper Canada Village, a Conner Prairie type place where we visited a water powered saw mill, steam powered woolen factory, a grain mill, bakery, cheese factory, bootmaker, tinsmith, dressmaker, general store, tavern, printer, weaver, schoolhouse, wheelwright, blacksmith, and farm. (All 1866) Greta milked a cow with both hands, and we sung in two different church buildings (when no other guests were there.) The acoustics were great! We also took in a horse-drawn wagon ride, a horse-towed canal boat ride, and an 1866 "medicine show," The Traveling Tiltons. Since then, we've been picnicing and swimming in the St. Lawrence River a couple of times. Tomorrow we plan to venture to Ottawa (Canada's capital) and hopefully have a tour of Parliament.
Even if we hadn't done all these fun things, it was great being here because our B&B hostess, Trish, makes the BEST breakfasts in the WORLD!! We have really been pampered! If anyone needs a place to stay up here, we will give them her name!
