Road Trip 2005
From August 12 to August 21, 2005 my father and I went on a road trip to Ontario. These photos more or less chronicle that journey.
It all began by crossing the border into New Brunswick from Nova Scotia. We played the role of tourists who haven't been out of the province much :)
We spent two nights at my grandparents place on the Long Reach. This scene awaited out their patio door the morning we left.
The longest covered bridge in the world is in Hartland, NB. We stopped like many others to take the requisite photos.
And while Dad got ice, I took some perspective shots of the bridge.
Dogs beware, you will be fined.
This place is where we stopped for lunch on the 14th.
And then we entered Quebec.
And stopped for supper along the highway at a rest stop.
Boiled hot dogs are the meal of champion road trippers.
The night of the 14th we spent outside Drummondville, Quebec.
In the morning we headed in to Ontario after a brief stop in Montreal at the Spanish Consulate.
Like the good tourists that we are, we made sure not to miss the parliment buildings.
Dad's camera was out of batteries so I had to make up for it by taking 30 photos myself.
It was a nice day in Ottawa. We called Chris and arranged to meet him at his place after he got off work.
Chris was a gracious host who put us up for a night on his floor. Ottawa is the home of friends who let friends sleep on their floor. :)
The two Road Trip 2003 alumni -- Chris and I lost no time geeking out.
A nice sunrise seen on an early morning trip to the bathroom prompted me to crack out the camera.
Once we left Ottawa we headed toward Wasaga Beach on Route 7. This General Store en-route was amazingly well stocked for being in the middle of nowhere.
Aggressive beach gulls were abound in the Wasaga Beach area.
Although we didn't break out the tent like other families, we did mark our territory with a folding chair.
