Went to a farmers market this morning to pick up some fun things. Corn, blueberries, peach hand pies and crab rangoon bread. Can you imagine, crab rangoon bread?! We walked back to the marina on a path that had lots of plaques and statues dedicated to loved ones and citizens of the city. This one in particular caught my eye. The rest of the story is in the picture below, very touching.
I have to say that Canadians are a very proud and patriotic people. They honor each other in humbling ways and they display their flag everywhere. I wish the citizens of the United States showed the same love of country.
We take the scooters over to lock 21, the Peterborough lift lock. It’s the largest hydrolic lift in the world with a total lift of 65 feet and it happens in 90 seconds (or 5 watching this video, ha ha). We’ll go through this lock in the next couple of days!
We hit the grocery store for a few things. One of the items on the list is milk. We find the milk, and it’s packaged in plastic bags; plastic bags!! I’m guessing they are trying to be ecologically conscious, less plastic and all, but to me it’s just too different.
In the park behind the marina they are having a tribute concert to the Bee Gees and ABBA. We get some food truck delights for dinner; Greek gyros, fries and salads. And for dessert we get Beaver Tails. I think the best way to describe them would be solid funnel cakes with toppings. We take everything back to the boat and we dine listening to the band.
We’ve decided to stay here at least one more day and more likely two because of the weather.
