Taking a weeks break up in the north country. Had to bring Jen across to Canada to make her feel at home. Beautiful weather and not many people making it nice. Thinking about renting a canoe.

We are on the gulf of St. Lawrence now and it is windy an a bit rough. Walking the decks is fun! Spent the morning in St Pierre. Very typical little French town with lace curtains and garden plots. They even use francs. The boat crew is Ukranian and my Russian is lacking.

Riding Mountain National Park, Canada
July, 1989
Today we are actually in Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, near the Int’l Peace Gardens on the North Dakota border where we used to come from Fargo long ago. Riding Mountain has lovely lakes and trails, but many hungry mosquitoes. We started our Canadian travels at Lake Winnipeg, just north of Winnipeg, at a wonderful sand beach with real dunes. The camp site, however, had even more mosquitoes than Riding Mountain! (so far I’ve only gotten two bites at Turtle Mountain – comparative heaven…) tomorrow we will head home.
Love
