…beautiful Thunder Bay, ONT, Canada. We spent our day touristing around this lovely city. The morning started with breakfast in our hotel room. I will spare you photos of me in the morning chowing on a doughnut followed by a healthy high fiber bar. 
Then we all headed for Kekabeka Provincial Park -famous primarily for it’s beautiful falls. Feast your eyes:

Another shot of the falls, this time of a very cool stairstep formation between the two drops.

Next up is a group photo of all seven of us at the falls:

After the falls we went to a very popular…and apparently somewhat famous…Finnish restaurant in the city call Hoitos. We feasted on such specialties as Finnish pancakes…light, thin, big and totally yummy, a flat rye bread with rice baked into the center whose name escapes me right now, but it was served with egg salad, tomatoes and pickles and was delicious, perogi served with fried onions and sour cream, homemade lentil soup and also some kind of Finnish beef stew. The meal was fabulous, so if you’re ever in the neighborhood…Run, don’t walk to Hoitos.
The afternoon found us at Hillcrest Gardens. The views….and the flowers were absolutely spectacular. The first photo I will share is my niece who very kindly submitted to about 5400 photo ops today , then the rest are flowers and I will end today’s photos with a tribute to the nation we are visiting. We thank them for their beautiful homeland and kind hospitality.

I don't know what these are but I love them!
Aren't the yellows glorious?
I love all the different colors!

Thank you for a beautiful day, Canada! You are the best of neighbors!
It was indeed a very full and very fun day. Now I am off to bed and tomorrow we are off for Wawa, Ont, Canada. Between here and there we will be covering 240 miles of forest, rock and shoreline. Looking forward…
Blessings,
Julie
