Contrary to the title, there's nothing to be blue about in the small town of Blind River where we are right now. We travelled up here on Wednesday afternoon which took just around 6 hours, so about equal to driving from Inverness to Stirling and back in one journey. There was some stunning scenery on the road up and Sarah's Parents (Liz & Bernard Mobach) home is in an absolutely beautiful lakeside location. We've not even been here a full two days yet, but we've done a ton of stuff already. We've been out on Bernard's new boat and I had a go at Tubing a couple of times yesterday which is so much fun. Naturally we've been swimming in the lake a number of times and I even tried Knee Boarding this morning, although didn't manage to stay on it long enough for a photo.
It's so nice to see Liz & Bernard again, who we met when they came to Scotland a couple of times a few years ago, and it's also great to see their home and enjoy their life experience for a while. We also got to meet Sarah's brother Nathan who's been home from work for a couple of days, that's him doing the rock jumping in one of the pictures below. There was a decent firework display in town last night to celebrate Canada Day and we were back there today to sample the Canadian delacacy called Poutine, that's chips, cheese & gravy, again it was absolutely delicious. Ooops, there I go breaking my own moratorium on food talk, sorry!!!
