Waterloo to Woodstock, Ontario

YEAR 3 DAY 6

 

Today was sunny and very warm, with a light breeze.

( Too ) Early this morning was the Escapees Rally hitch up breakfast. We said farewell to our old and new friends. Before preparing for departure, we washed Lanoire. Filthy truck ! We left Green Acre RV Park, and drove through Waterloo to Kitchener. We stopped at a large mall where we shopped at Petcetera, Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart, and Mark's Work Warehouse. Bo and I both got new raincoats. We had lunch in the parking lot of the shopping mall.

We drove down back roads towards Stratford, turning south at Shakespeare, and finding our way to a lovely "over 50" RV park named Braemar Valley Park, hidden deep off the back roads. We like it ! Quiet, small, well landscaped, friendly people, the sort of place we'd like to have as a "home base" in Canada.

We all sat outside at the picnic table for the afternoon. Bo attached to his tie-out, Teddy in his tent, and me working on the computer. Nice weather ! I reconciled the MasterCard statement.

After having barbecued corn and pan fried pickerel for supper, we went for a long walk, checking out the park and its facilities. We like this place !

I spent the evening updating investment files. Holy Mackerel ! Can we afford to continue this lifestyle ? ! ?
