We left Ishmiping today and headed up the peninsula. It was a nice drive through woods, along Lake Superior and small towns.
We are now staying in Sault Ste Marie at a camp resort on the Soo Canal. Very pretty.
We drove into town to buy the local specialty, pasties. The grocery store was out, but we will go to a recommended restaurant, Franks Place, and have them for lunch tomorrow.
We complain sometimes about our poor bumpy roads, but we will never complain again after driving on the roads in this town.
We had a gorgeous sunset this evening. First time we’ve had many clouds in the sky which always make the sunsets spectacular. We sat by the canal and watched huge commercial boats coming in and out of the locks.
September 2
Our first cold weather came today. Woke up to a chilly RV. But it warmed up during the day and we didn’t need the jackets we took along. Spent a few hours in town checking the shops and the locks museum and locks. The shops are all having sales, especially on their summer items. Tom and I both tried on Minnetonka sandals and I bought a pair. They hit Tom wrong on the ball of his
foot so he lost out.
We did go to Franks and had the pasties. Had to bring half of them home as
they were so big. They are delicious though. Franks food was so good we went back for dinner. Cups of meatball and orzo soup, scrumptious, and Carmel apple
surprise for dessert. Steve and Lani remember that humongous ice cream cone?
Well this dessert could almost dwarf it. However, there were two of us to eat it.
Still we couldn’t manage the whole thing.
Tomorrow morning we cross the bridge into Canada. I don’t know what the
Wifi situation and availability will be there. So I’m signing off for now and will connect with you all again when I can. Stay turned in from time to time.
