Tues., June 25
We made it to Gravenhurst. We were staying at the Residence Inn Marriott. You may recall, we had trouble securing the room.
We watched the hotel being built, back in the day.
You pay for a room with a view and less for a room without a view. This was the view from our hotel balcony. We tried when we registered, and they said they were booked solid.
The marine museum and marina are behind the oak tree. Honest. Sometimes you get a waft of Boston Pizza on the wind.
Our room!
There are condos in the back 40. They must have been disappointed when they put up the hotel and spoiled their view!
Tuesday night, dinner on the dock.
A lovely walk along the boardwalk.
Two choices for dinner...
We've had many a meal on Muskoka Wharf in the bay.

What a view!

JB went for his morning half-hour walk. I doddled, then decided to climb the rock. The Precambrian Shield is so beautiful.
Next stop: Gravenhurst Market
They have a market on Wednesday mornings.
Have you tried cashew cheese? It is amazing, if you cannot tolerate other cheese.
Linda Hyrnyk was there. We bought our first birdbath from her 2003-ish. Sadly, our movers broke it when we moved into the house.

Anderson Produce is a food reseller. It's a shame seeing them at market, as this stuff isn't necessarily Ontario produce. There was a discussion about this by our local Lanark County farmers. It takes away from local, small town, or rural producers.
Muskoka rocks!
After the market, we walked the dock.
The famous Segwun steamship
Condos run about $360,000+!

Looks like you're having a really nice time! We used to go to Boston Pizza a lot, but now that we're up north, it's too long a drive, great food though! Oh I love going to markets!

It looks sparkling in the summer light, so can see why it's a popular! YAM xx
Many years ago, when my daughter was young, I had a cottage in Muskoka, and spent many happy times there. She grew up and moved away, however, and I finally sold it. I din't miss the hassle of driving up there every weekend, but your pictures bring back a twinge of nostalgia.
Sorry, but that room made me smile. Like you say Jenn, it's first come first served. Unless of course you just happen to be "in the know". It's difficult to beat an out door market on a sunny, bright day. Especially if there's food to taste.
This makes me so aware we are in opposite seasons. Outdoors, tents and more with goodies, meals outdoors, what a great event.
Our visit to BP in SF last week. I have had indigestion for a week now. It doesn't mean cause and effect, but I lean toward that since my troubles began the next day if not sooner.
Beautiful landscapes out there. I have never been to a Boston Pizza.
