Woke up to yes you guessed it , another sunny day! Temps predicted to be around 90 + degrees again!
Today is our darling grandson Sebastian's first birthday Sorry to be missing it but at least he won't remember we were not present on this day. We did face time him in the morning.
Today being the last day with Mark and Carol we decided to have a day of sightseeing.Lots to see here. This is a nice town to visit .
Carol was keen to see the Natve people's village and museum which we saved til last on the tour. Being Sunday it was appropriate we first went to see the Martyr's Shrine and the church built to honor 8 Jesuits who were evangelizing the local Native peoples and were killed.Outside were the 12 stations of the cross in bronze on a walk up a hill. It was very nicely done.
Then onto the famous fish restaurant called Henry's , for lunch at Wye heritage marina.
The other restaurant is on Frying Pan Island , very appropriate ! Great fish ( pickerel or walleye) and chips . Off to visit Penetanguishene Centennial Museum , which was closed , we then headed to Discovery Harbor .
This was the site of a 19 th century British naval and military outpost.Last on our list was the Huron
Ouendat (Wendat) Village back in the town of Midland near the picturesque Little Lake.Fascinating to see how this Indian Tribe lived back in 1500 to 1600's Later they traded furs with the French who had arrived on the scene.There was also a museum inside with articles of both Indian and Early European displayed.We enjoyed the visit.
Finished the day with dinner on board , delicious pork ribs were on the menu.
Then watched a DVD The Hundred Foot Journey about two restaurants opposite each other on the south of France, one Indian and other a one star Michelin French restaurant.Fun movie to watch if you haven't seen it yet.
Over and Out
