A ROAD TRIP – THANKSGIVING WEEK END 2022 (still time for you to do it)
WE did it all in one day. Our road trip to Prince Edward County just to see the coloured trees
and buy pumpkins, ornamental gourds, and a meal at a roadside restaurant and then
beat our way home with the sun making westward driving hair raising though beautiful.
Apologies to my cousin Christopher and wife Cathie. We did not drop in. Should have done
so for we knew we would be welcome even unannounced.
Marjorie and I are sending this special Thnanksgiving Episode 502 just a day before the
thnakfiving day week end. Readers will have time to hit the road. Or readers can enjoy
a vicarious road trip using our pictures.
My good friend Russ will never understand why we boys so man ornamental gourds.
“Those things are not edible! Waste of time and money!”,might be his thought. Maybe
these pics will change his mind. Things do not have to be edible to be enjoyable, Russ.
No need to call, Russ. I know I have exaggerated your point of view.
Take a look at the lead picture. It will suggest a route for you to follow. Prince Edward
County is now loaded with wineries Some offering free samples in the expectation
you will buy a dozen bottles. Nothing wrong with that expectation either. Sadly the
Barley Days brewery was closed when we stopped. That kind of sample I would really
have enjoyed so we popped into he Waring House restaurant for fish and chips and
a pint of Barley Days dark.
We cut down to Wicklow Beach from Highway #2 just before we got to Brighteon.
Nobody there but us and eternity. Parked the truck right beside the water for Woody
to inspect in case a dead and rotten fish floated up.
