Arrival in St. Catharines


Wednesday August 6

It's an eight-hour drive from Cincinnati to our new home-from-home in St. Catharines, Ontario. Luckily the weather was good, the driving easy, and the Canadian border guard fairly friendly even when confronted with our tightly-packed vehicle. We arrived at around dinnertime, and found our landlady and hostess, Jane, there to greet us, with the table already laid for a welcoming dinner.

Jane had gotten a rotisserie chicken, and her daughter Jo-Ann had set some fresh vegetables to roast: onions, zucchini, and peppers with parmesan, and seasonal asparagus with green beans. It was delicious, especially after a long day's drive. We contributed a good bottle of Napa cab sav, and the neighbors contributed farewell-to-Jane-hello-to-us plates of excellent home-made pastries. OH, CANADA…
