The Bruce Pennisula


We started the day at the museum in town where we had been told there was a display on the Underground Railroad. It turns out that the display is only out at certain times - mostly during February. There is another museum close to town but the ladies at the first museum said the other display is only seasonal also.

We decided to spend the day as tourist! We drove up the Bruce Peninsula and hiked to two waterfalls. We then drove to the tip of the peninsula and visited 3 lighthouses. It was a beautiful drive and we enjoyed the day very much. We did find a fabric store along the way and I did find some FQs of Canadian fabric (Canadian flag, moose, dragonfly). They had awesome flannel but I couldn't bring myself to purchase a big piece with the cost.

Tomorrow we are on our way to Dresden, Ontario where they have a Uncle Tom's Cabin memorial. The runaway slave that Harriet Beecher Stowe based her story on settled in Dresden, Ontario. There are several other spots for us to visit close to Dresden and we will have to see how much we accomplish.

    It must be disappointing to not be able to see the things that you travel so far to see. Your trip is sounding fantastic -- and you make me want to quilt again!
