Oh, Canada

It has now been six weeks on the road and some of you may have forgotten what I look like. Hopefully, the 2 above pictures will jog your memory.
We now are in Canada, having crossed over the bridge from Port Huron into Ontario. The photo on the van was trying to get bicycles over the bridge and to say the least, I made a rookie mistake and got stuck on the van, much to the enjoyment of people lucky enough to stay on the ground. We have stopped at several Tim Horton's, which are quite good donut and coffee shops. We have spent 3 of 4 nights at hotels attached to golf resorts. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my clubs, so just walked the courses. Have been swimming in both Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. the beach at Grand Bend, Ontario was quite nice and refreshing as the temperature was around 90 degrees.
The past two nights we stayed in Stratford, which has a well-known Shakespeare Festival. I was able to attend the production of "The Tempest" with Christopher Plummer as the Prospero. He was excellent.
Below is the nice 2 bedroom loft Dave and I shared while in Stratford. My favorite and urban living at its finest. I do love to be in the heart of the downtown area. Stratford does also have more of a European feel than some of the places we have been.


The picture below is of the City Hall Building, which was right out our front door.

I had to imbibe in fresh cut fries with malt vinegar and salt and Tim Horton pastries. Both were mighty tasty.
Riding in Canada has been very enjoyable. Seeing the coast of Lake Huron, rolling countryside, old farms and buildings. The drivers have been more courteous and seem to give a little more space to riders. Saw many local cyclists out today as it is Sunday. We also experienced a Mennonite buggy jam, in which no cyclists could get by.
We have had the opportunity to meet various family members, and that has been fun putting names with faces. People are getting anxious about the end of the trip, now less than 2 weeks away. I will spend a few days seeing my good friend Art in NH and head back to Denver before heading to OR to do a 10 day trip along the Pacific Coast, the Rogue River, and Crater Lake. It should be a good time, and I hope to see the rest of the Lentini family.
Still having a wonderful time and enjoying the guests, scenery and riding.
Best Wishes!!
Dennis
