Lake Ontario, Lake Huron

Niagara on the Lake (Ontario)

North of Niagara Falls, the river meets Lake Ontario.  There is a picturesque and historic town on the Canadian side across the river from US Fort Niagara.  After several days of clouds, rain, and thunderstorms, we drove up to Niagara on the Lake on a beautiful sunny day.

We enjoyed the sun, flowers, historic buildings,

sweet shops,

gourmet shops,

Lucero Olive Oil in the Display Window

Now selling in Canada

quaint neighborhoods,

restaurants, lake walk,

 and ended our day with a George Bernard Shaw play, Major Barbara.

The George Bernard Shaw festival has several venues in town, and numerous Shaw and non-shaw productions simultaneously played throughout the summer.  Our tickets were pricey $130 each.  Can't even imagine what we would have paid for comparable production in New York.

Lake Huron, Killbear Provincial Park, Georgian Bay

When we left Niagara, we back tracked a little to Toronto (looked like LA - big city), and headed north to Lake Huron avoiding another city.  We spent two nights in a beautiful Provincial Park on Georgian Bay.  We biked, hiked, and kayaked.  

Canadian Shield.  Ancient igneous rock pushing upward.  Glacial lakes everywhere.

It was relaxing and refreshing.  There are wonderful coves and bays where sailboats anchor.  One could spend endless summers up here exploring.

We are currently on the border of Canada and Michigan in Sault Sainte Marie in a saddle area between Lake Huron, Lake Superior, and Lake Michigan in one of the prettiest KOA campgrounds we've ever been in.  We'll do some sightseeing today, including the bush airplane museum, and then head back temporarily into the states to travel south of Lake Superior through Michigan and northern Wisconsin.

My cousin, Jim, lives in northern Wisconsin, and we have made arrangements to visit him before heading back into Canada.  Tomorrow night we will be spending the night in the Hiawatha National Forest....on the shores of Gitche  Gummee.  The Ojibwe call the lake gichigami, meaning "big water."
