Today began with a beautiful sunrise, and the weather remained perfect for a day of sightseeing around Midland, ON, population 18,000, which swells to more than 100,000 during the summer months.
We spent the day bike-touring, starting on the Mid-Pen Link Trail, which connects Midland to Penetanguishene, its immediate neighbor to the northwest. Next we rode the Rotary Waterfront and Trans-Canada Trails along Lake Huron to the Wye River and Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons, a restored, early-17th century Jesuit mission.
After returning to Midland, we ate lunch at The Boathouse on their waterfront deck, then rode to the Huronia Museum, which has a nice art and history collection and a recreated Huron/Wendat First Nations village outside.
We biked back to Dragonfly, cooked dinner onboard, ducked inside during a passing rain shower and read until bedtime. Tomorrow we’re taking a bus to Toronto, then flying to Boston on Tuesday to pick up our truck and see our daughters.
