Brockville

Today we left the foreign nation of Quebec and returned to our home nation of Ontario. That is clearly an exaggeration, but it did feel nice to have the challenging Quebec French behind us. It was a nice journey through the Gatineau to Ottawa and then down to Brockville. Maybe next time I would take the recommended ferry across the Ottawa River and avoid the city of Ottawa, but this route wasn't too bad and we made the trip in four and one half hours. Once in Brockville, we reconnected with Bill and Brenda Fraser at their river front condo. We dined out across the street tonight and then returned to their fabulous terrace on a sweltering hot night, ripe for a thunderstorm or two. This blog is now winding down for this journey as we have one more day in Brockville and then an overnight in Newmarket with Carole and Claude. It's been a great trip with some crap summer weather, but you get what you get. It will be nice to get off the road, out of our suitcases and back into our own beds in two days.
