      What a wonderful day we are gonna have. Mostly sunshine and warm weather. It did get to a very comfortable 76f today, no complaints here at all.

       First thing I got a nice walk on down the road and back about mile just to get the blood flowing, And my body tuned up

still some tobaccos drying sheds here

nice properties down the road

        Back to Chris and Bills. chat with them for a while because we are all early morning people.

Bill feeding the Chickens. 

         Then at 9 am Suzie and I headed out to wander down towards Lake Erie and follow frontage road, from St. Williams, to Port Rowan, destination today is Port Burwell. One of our favourite areas to hang out in the summer. Wonderful beaches right here on Lake Erie, and not a busy place to go. Not a tourist area like other places that are always packed with crowds, hardly anyone ever here most times.

     Into Port Rowan and check out the water front park. Again so peaceful.

lots of boat houses here

lighthouse on the pier at Port Rowan 

looks like a nice restaurant, not open yet

       Wandering along lakeshore road came by the wildlife management ares , lots geese here getting ready to head south.

a nice view of the lake from the road

passed by Sand Hill Park, camped here over 20 years ago

remember climbing this huge sand hill, right in the campground

       Not far down the road we arrived at Port Burwell. This is a hidden gem we discovered a very long time ago and still to this day , not a very busy place, but we do love the area and no crowds is a bonus!

scoops ice cream

museum 

       Now down to the beach and the pier, and as usual almost deserted, perfect !

looks like a fishing boat

       The quiet beach from the pier.

water is rough  and not too clear with the waves

our favourite beach spot we  hang at for many years 

love the beach here

visitor centre at the lighthouse

       They have this huge submarine here  that you can tour, but we have never done it usually not open when we are here.

     There is a few nice restaurants in town but again we too early to stop on by, no problem we not hungry yet anyway.

       We did stop by Martins fish market but nothing there that we wanted today, guess we too early again as well.

       Back  to Chris and Bills we had lunch puttered around for a while Bill picked some fresh veggies for me to whip up supper tonight. Right out of their garden.

        We go lotsa goodies, fresh onions, peppers, potatoes, zucchini, carrots, cabot get much fresher than that!

       While I got things ready Chris and Suzie hashed over old a new times, they have been good friends for close to 50 years !

glad that they enjoy the catchup times.

         I wrapped the potatoes in foil, made a couple of large veggie pockets and grilled a nice pork loin roast all done on our Weber Q 100. Amazing what you can cook up on this small grill.

taters all done and too good

that was it for a very tasty supper and yes we had leftovers 

         Dinner done relaxing outside for  a while just more flapping our gums, shortly after 8 pm it was cooling down a bit and the mosquitoes decided they need to come out and bug us. Good sign for us to call it a night and head on inside, wrapping up our day here.
       Thanks again for stopping in for a visit and hope you enjoyed some excellent summer weather today as well.

We head south Oct 18, 2017Countdown

Where have we been this summer ?
