You meet so many good people when you're on the road, that you just have to go and see them in their natural habitat when you get back. Our good travelling friend's Earl and Joy live in this part of the world too. They picked us up from the Neilson's cottage and took us over to their place on Four Mile Lake near Coboconk, still in Ontario.
It was a relaxing few days and it was great to see them. It rained quite a lot, but it was cool to hear the pitter-patter on the roof and feel cosy in their cottage. We got spoilt by Joy and her good food, we took the odd trip into town and played Euchre every evening. And while Joy got me hooked on crosswords and a game called SkipBo, Martin helped Earl on his computer. When the weather was nice we went for walks, played horseshoes in the garden, or took the 'Snooz-cruze' paddle boat out on the lake. Sometimes, it was nice just to sit on the swinging chair overlooking the glass-like water and enjoy the peace and quiet, only interrupted by the occassional squark of Canada Geese overhead. It was a nice few days of chilling out, and great to see Earl and Joy before they took off for Asia again. We were disappointed that we wouldn't be criss-crossing paths with them again on those same roads. * Mush
