Brockville alternate cruise
So, the original plan was to close off this version of the blog yesterday. However, due to peer pressure, I've decided to extend it today to the end of the trip. Although still warm, the weather was uncertain enough that Bill was reluctant to head out in the boat. An alternative plan involved a cruise of a different manner - a little excursion in Bill's new automobile, a Tesla.
Curiously enough, Bill bought the car in Toronto last year because there are none available in California. The car itself is a computer, always connected to the internet and will drive itself, which we had the opportunity to experience. The next photo of the toy car on the armrest is the key.
So we went down to Gananoque - pronounced Gan-nan-a-Q for the Americans - for lunch at a very nice restuarant called Riva. Then it was back to Brockville in the silent-mobile / the real zoom zoom car and plugged it in for the next couple of bucks worth of fuel. How cool! Lucky Bill and Brenda!
We spent most of the rest of the day imbibing on the terrace and watching both the sailing regatta out of the yacht club and tanker traffic on the St. Lawrence. They have a truly fabulous location!
We had a great stay in Brockville and wonderful visit with the Frasers.
