We parked our trailer in the overflow parking for Glo’s community center and the Loch Ness Golf Club. (Not without protest. A woman whose home overlooked the parking lot was not happy. She forced us to move the trailer to a place that blocked her neighbors’ view, not hers.)
Trailer in lot, at right angle to where it should have been (near car). Disgruntled lady was on the balcony at left.
Staying with Gloria was great fun. At any given time we could look out from her deck and see ships traversing the Welland Canal. On one evening her neighbors organized a bonfire in the sand just beyond her property.

We visited the Balls Ford Conservation Area and viewed the lower and upper falls.

On the way home we toured the Fry house, part of the Jordan Historical Museum and I was fascinated by the adjustable candle holder that was used in the early 1800’s.
Candle (at bottom) could be moved up and down and right to left.We toured more museums, but most of our time was spent sharing Glo’s activities in Welland (market, tennis, line dancing, pole dancing, breakfast at Tim Horton’s) and enjoying her many wonderful friends who welcomed us with enthusiasm and warmth.
We did find time for some of Ray’s favorite things—stopping at old cemeteries and viewing Canada geese.
We had a wonderful time.
Has Ray started to do any gravestone rubbings yet? and what about geocashing? Have you tried that? Have a great time on your adventure. Lo
