Last night, I went over to the swimming pool at the motel to swim and later sat in the jacuzzi. Two women came in later and sat with me. We chatted about their wedding. They were married a year after Canada legalized gay marriage. They said the world didn't cave in. People now accept the law.
Even more interesting is that one of them works for the Canadian hockey association. Her job is to drive the zamboni. I told her that impressed me more than anything!
Today, two performances at retirement homes. Both were huge with incredible amenities. It makes sense because as we discovered today, Canada is wealthier than the United States with the average Canadian earning more than the average American. The residents in both facilities dined on white linen tableclothes with fine china and crystal goblets.
Gary felt he must do something to keep us on an even keel, so sparing no expense, he bought a GPS for Canada. This way we won't argue about maps, he says. It, too, has that annoying woman giving directions whom he ignored. He said sooner or later, she would say, "Return me to the store!"
Then we were off on the Trans Canadian Highway heading west. There moose crossing signs everywhere but no moose crossed. I've been in Canada several times and have yet to see a moose. This is a major disappointment to me.
Tonight we are at Rainbow Falls Provincial Park, the Rossport campground on the north shore of Lake Superior. For those poor souls I left sweltering in Wisconsin, I must report that the temperature tonight will be 10 degrees C. which is 50 F. Tomorrow will be a perfect day of 15 degrees C. We shall frolic on the beach and hike the trails.
Photos when we have more time.
