Daytrip March 26th – part 2

Monday, March 26th

It was going to be a lovely day.  Photo series 1: Athens, Front of Yonge Township.

In this post:
Mallorytown, Rockport.
I chose some of these photos, mostly drive-bys, as I might want to sketch some.

(Ganonoque, is post 3.)

Here we were at Mallorytown.

Some Easter decor.


We drove under Highway 401, not along it!

Rockport

We took a drive around Rockport. We've been here in summer. The place was closed as we are here before the season begins. The black line, on the lower corner of the map, is the border between Canada and the USA.

It's a lovely little spot, bursting at the seams in summer with tourists, including bus tours, which stop. Both restaurants were closed, however!

I'm trying to imagine what happened to this house.

There was ice fishing nearby. It's quite a popular winter sport.


Here is the same region in summer! In the meantime, we anxiously await SPRING!

Trip around S.E. Ontario: Gananoque, Mallory town and Rockport

There are many beautiful places to visit in Ontario. We went through Escott, to Furnace Falls park, Rockport, and Gananoque. There is something about being near the water in the summer that warms the cockles of your heart.

Oldest bridge in Ontario

Furnace Falls Park

Visited the Eagle Point winery

Winery was a horse farm!

Very busy spot, with Thousand Isl. boat rides

I like murals!

Despite the bike path, one old dude was on the highway!

Someone on their way to water play!

I love the bike path, but a golf cart?

Eagle's Nest

It's not my idea of a great cottage -
but paradise for some one!

Isn't this the coolest coffee bar ever?!
Socialist Pig Coffee house

For Rock Girl!
