Thursday August 24, 2017 We start the day with a nice breakfast at the Inn. We have an egg casserole, Cherry crumble, carrot cake, and monkey bread. It is very good and the company of the other guests is good as well. After breakfast, we walk to town and rent a tandem bike. This is […]

Wednesday August 23, 2017 For breakfast, we have leftover sausage from our pancake breakfast on a croissant that we bought yesterday. We drive down to the ferry dock where there is free parking while you are on Mackinac Island. For those of you that do not know, Mackinac Island does not allow any motorize vehicles […]

Tuesday August 22, 2017 We wake up to a very different day from yesterday. Instead of sunny, it is cloudy and looks like rain. Instead of doing a bit more walking on the Canadian side, we decide to cross the border and take care of an errand this morning. Our border crossing starts out with […]

Monday August 21, 2017 We enjoy a leisurely morning at the cottage. Carol makes a wonderful breakfast of pancakes and sausage. We pack up and when I am bringing things to the car, the guy staying in the cottage next to us comes over to say hello. Just another friendly Canadian. He is from the […]

Sunday August 20, 2017 We get an early start this morning and drive about ten miles to see a waterfall. Along the way, I decided to take a less traveled road rather than the main highway. This pays off as I notice some movement in the roadside vegetation and see a small bear. I slow […]

Saturday August 19, 2017 We get up a bit early today, have a light breakfast, shower, and pack the rest of our stuff. We finish loading the RAV and then go to leave the parking garage. Our key does not seem to be opening the door even though the light turns green on the card […]

Friday August 18, 2017 It is supposed to rain all day today and it is raining when we get up. That causes us to roll over and catch a few extra Zzzzzzs. Then a nice breakfast and an extra cup of coffee. When we are done it is still raining but much lighter. We pack […]

Thursday August 17, 2017 Another nice homemade breakfast and we are out the door. We walk to the city hall and take a free tour. It is kind of short and alright, not the best we have been on. We learn a little history of Montreal politics and a few things about some of the […]

Wednesday August 16, 2017 We had a good night’s sleep and best of all, we did not set an alarm so we take our time getting out of bed. The fridge is definitely not working right so we will call on that after 0900. Carol makes a nice breakfast of eggs, potatoes with onions, and […]

Tuesday August 15. 2017 We wake up and I go to work at mapping out our entry into Montreal. I also look at some alternate routes to sight see along the way. We also plan to stop in a suburb to do some food shopping as we have a studio apartment with a stove and […]
