Day 77 - London, Ontario

It is Wednesday, August l5th, and we were on the road again.  We drove 467 miles to London, Ontario.  It was raining in Montreal; however, once we headed south, the sun came out.  The trip was uneventful until we arrived in Whitby, where we visited with some friends that we met on our Caravan trip to Alaska last year.  If we keep taking these trips, we’ll know someone in each of the Provinces and States – how fun!

Below left is the picture we took of Montreal as we left - not very encouraging, but we talked to friends later and the day turned out sunny as well.  We are now in Ontario - last of the Provinces on our Caravan trip. It was great seeing Mary and Chris again.  They have a lovely home in Whitby.

Their home is large and spacious.  I especially liked the sun room.  I can see myself sitting in there most of the day.  They said it is awesome when it snows as it is a heated room so they can enjoy it in the winter as well.  We had fun talking about the Olympics since they are originally from Ireland and England.  Like Chris said, he understood the significance of both the Opening and Closing's.  We didn't see that much of it but what we did see, we didn't understand.

We went out for dinner for which we thank them and talked about the people on our trip to Alaska.  They have seen some this past year as well as us.  Hopefully, in time, we will get to see more of them.  Again, thank you Mary and Chris for inviting us to your home, for dinner and tea afterwards.  Hopefully, we’ll get together again some day.  If you are ever in Illinois or Arizona, please call.

As we drove through Toronto I took some pictures of various buildings.  I don’t recall the city being so large.  Looks like they have a lot of condo or apartment buildings.  Would have loved to spend more time here, but time to head on home.

Chris made sure we didn’t leave their house until “rush hour” was mostly over, but we still hit a lot of traffic.  It kept moving so we did pretty good time wise.  At one point, I thought it would be better flying since we past the airport.  There was also another mode of transportation we could have considered – the horses.  I don’t think they liked the idea as they had their backs to me  Sorry about that!

The sunset was great and really lit up the sky.  The clouds kept changing colors.
