Agawa Canyon

While my brother Stew and his wife Fran were visiting from the west, we decided to "do" the Agawa Canyon in Northern Ontario. Fran's siblings and their spouses came along too. The ten of us had a great time. We have been friends since high school days, but usually only all get together for family weddings. It was great to spend some real time with them all again.

We all met up at Joan and Don's beautiful place in Muskoka. I give 5 stars to that Bed and Breakfast! The colours were great! The weather sunny, cool and crisp. Perfect!

We car pooled to Sault St. Marie where we stayed in a nice hotel right across from the Train Station. We caught the train early the next morning. The weather on the way up was a mixture of sun, cloud and sprinkles of rain, but the colours were glorious and the scenery fabulous.

As the train arrived at the canyon, the skies opened and we had a real downpour - had to eat our box lunches on the train. That put a "damper" on things, but the canyon was still lovely.

We slept some on the trip home so we would have some energy for a great dinner and evening at the Casino next door to our hotel. A great time was had by all.

After another night at Joan and Don's, we dropped Stew and Fran off at Barry's farm. I always love the horses there and of course the weather was grand! Their lovely home is on part of the old Everson farm. Barry's son and family are in the old house where Fran was raised.

Saying good-bye to Stew and Fran is always hard. We don't see enough of each other!
