Well we certainly had a great time last nite. We were not sure if we wanted to go or to stay another day. Linda had mentioned that they was a local farmer's market just down the street in the square. So..... we decided to stay. It was another beautiful morning and not as cold as the day before. After breakfast we walked down to the square. You would never know that there had been a party in the streets the nite before. It was spotless. When we arrived at the square the whole centre of the divided street had dozens of vendors. The first section was all the food vendors and there were lots of them. Selling everything from fresh herbs, vegetables, flowers, all kinds of delicious fresh bakery items, homemade jams and jellies, pies and breads, and even freshly frozen meats. The next section were all the little craft vendors. There was something there for everyone and it was packed. After picking up some pastries, bread and jams we headed back to the boat. I worked on the blog for a bit and Don worked on the boat. We met the man the the boat beside us Minor and he was kind enough to lend us his truck to go and pick up some cold medication from the pharmacy and a few things at the food store. He did not know us from Adam and gave us his truck. Boat people are one of a kind.....
Before we went we stayed long enough to take another sunset picture and as we were waiting for the sun to go down I noticed a couple walking towards us wearing shorts, so I said to them "you two must be Canadians" and he said "yes, and we are from Lindsay, Ontario" Small world they live about 30 minutes from us and when we said that we owned Viamede they said they knew who we were. Go figure....
After we picked up a few thing and returned the truck we had a lite dinner at the restaurant beside the marina. We sat outside with a heater on beside us. It was so nice and it made us think "No Snow". There had been activities all day at the stadium across the bay from us. We found out later that it was the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the stadium and they had bands there all day. Just as we came back to the boat they started to do fireworks, and not just a few. The display went on for at least 20 minutes. I said to Don that they did not have to do such a large display just for us because we were leaving tomorrow !!!!!
