Parry Sound: the Final Chapter.

It was time for the big Visiting Day at the Sanctuary (Rosseau) so we had to be there. It was a quiet day probably because the weather wasn't the best and the Blackflies were viscious. But it was nice to see some beautiful people again, it was nice to say goodbye one last time and we've met a creature that is probably as old as we are...Meet Joe, Brenda and the giant Snapping Turtle!



Canada is turtle country and it's turtle season so they all go back to the pond they were born and they have to cross many roads. Everywhere we can make a safe stop...we help them cross the road! We have to watch our fingers though! This Painted Turtle is very common, only the males have the long nails, just to let you know, : )!

We've spend a whole week at Brenda's place in Parry Sound. She lives in a cozy house near a river and we had a great time, so did Thurber! We worked on our Annabel to prepare her for the big roadtrip. We designed a little green border in front of Brenda's house (Black Gardens International!) and we just enjoyed this quiet time before heading North! Thanx Brenda and so long Koda Bear, we'll miss you both ; ).




And Meet Peter Van Der Valck, we met this Canadian Dutchman a few months ago and he promised us a kayaktrip in May. I gave him a phonecall and eventhough the weather wasn't very good he took me on a trip anyway, a great experience. I know now what the true meaning of a Kayak is...thanx Pete! I had a rough time keeping up with a retired Canadian Citizen...: )! We were on the water for a couple of hours crossing lakes and passing by beautiful isles of nature...and I had to steer with my feeth, hi-tech, oh yeah!


We ended our stay in Parry Sound with a Barbeque and  lot of storytelling at Peter's place, thanx Peter and Donna, great times! We'll hope to meet you in BC!!! Up North now folks...

Adieu.

The Beauty - The Beast - The Hound.
