Early breakfast with 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast at Stacked was a Canada Day Weekend delight. Now we were fuelled and ready to go. The first stop was at the Art Barn, 8 kms away. This used to be a dairy farm and the barn now sells crafts created by local artisans. The owner of this 50 acre property also allows campers to stay overnight for a donation. Maybe on the way back…

We continued on north on Hwy 400 to Parry Sound were we enjoyed the Canada Day festival that was happening – Ribfest, artisan booths, log sawing. One of the artisans was from Düsseldorf in Germany. We walked to the harbour and ate a huge ice cream while sitting in Muskoka chairs watching the floatplanes taking off.

We continued our drive not knowing where we would stay for the night and came across Sturgeon Bay Provincial Park which happened to have two sites left. What a beautiful small campground, right at a bay with fabulous swimming opportunities. We talked to quite a number of people and Ruth fell in love with an American Bulldog. Martin talked to the park warden for a while and learned all about the training they undergo and why they need bullet proof vests.

After a long, enjoyable swim in warm water and dinner, it was time for Duolingo in the van.
