Day 20 & 21.....she might start to meow

Day 20

Sunday July 21 st

Destination Sudbury to visit 
Glen's brother and sister-in law...Doug and Louise 

Beautiful sunny morning...on the road about 10 o'clock and it is 18 degrees

A few observations ......

in some rivers the water colour is chocolate brown

more people flying the Canadian flag then at home 

trees plentiful but not very tall

quite a lot of abandoned businesses along the highways

thousands of lily pads on the waters close the highway

Tim Hortons everywhere and not a Starbucks to be seen 

as a matter fact I think I have seen only one so far 

me being a Starbucks fan I will just have to make my own

and it appears we are in Amish country

a lot of road signs warning drivers to watch for horse and buggies 

 as I was trying to take a picture of the sign three horse and buggies 

passed by us on the other side of the street 

the Amish live like it is still the 1800s , no electricity, no motor vehicles etc.

Beautiful scenery today as we travel along the shore of Lake Huron 

we have great cell service now 

the terrain is a mixture of farmland and forest

we arrived at Doug and Louise's at about 2:15 

Louise, Glen, & Doug

Louise, Sheila and Doug

 Louise fixed us a nice sandwich lunch and after lunch Doug took us

 for a short drive around Azilda which is the small town they actually live in

Doug and Louise have two indoor cats and six feral cats that they feed and care for 

this of course made for a very interesting experience for Missy

she either wanted to chase them or play with them 

I'm not quite sure which but she did take advantage of eating their food 

Louise commented that she might start to meow 

we sat outside and chatted until about seven and then 

went in for a nice dinner 

Day 21

Monday July 22nd

Destination Ottawa

Up at about 8 o'clock

after breakfast we visited with Doug and Louise reminiscing

 I asked Louise if they get many visitors from the west 

looks like we were the last to visit three years ago 

they gave us some great tips on how to get to our campsite 

with out going through the middle of Ottawa

on the road about noon

temperature along the way went from 20 to 28 

we noticed more eastern seaboard state license plates  

there were many cars parked along the side of the road both east and west of Sudbury 

Louise said they were out there picking wild blueberries 

the road along the way to Ottawa was great at times then would become very bumpy 

came across two roadkill deer and are very thankful that it wasn't us who hit them 

we reached our campsite in Ottawa about 7 o'clock

got set up at camp

dad found out that the campers beside us were from White rock 

they were traveling across Canada as well 

had spaghetti for dinner then tried to sit out for a while but the Mozzies were to bothersome 

we caught up with home through several text messages before calling it a night
