A very good day. The weather was lovely - sunny and warm but not hot.
The highlight of the day was picnic in the park in Dryden. We bought sandwich makings and had a picnic with Keefers. He of course found admiring fans. Two little kids brought him flowers (dandelions) and he had almost charmed a lady into sharing her french fries when I decided it was time to go.
The area to the immediate north of Thunder Bay must have been settled by Finns. The first 6 road names were definitely Finnish and there was a community called Finmark. This was more street names that Elizabeth and I found in northern Michigan last September (an area with known strong Finnish connections).
Cell phone service was sporadic We are just not used to loosing connections.
The only pictures today are from Kenora. Keefers needed his picture taken with Huskie the Muskie
