We started our morning at the bakery in Campbellford, getting lots of yummy things to take along with us. We tried out one of their specialties - meat pies - for lunch. They were delicious! It was hot and humid by Canadian standards, and pretty much so by Savannah standards too. We traveled 25 miles and 5 locks today, with two of them being a set like we did before.
Today we rode through farmland, marshes and waterfront communities. The folks at the locks are always nice, as are the other boaters. There were lots of people out swimming and fishing today - they all waved. We found some nice yard decorations (and some not so nice that were left out). We are now at a marina in Hastings, Ontario. Hastings is a small town, but it does have restaurants, shops and the marina has good Wifi. A very good thing, because we got to Skype with Sara and Liv.
Tomorrow we will head on along the waterway to Peterborough. Hopefully it won't be quite as hot, but it will be a fairly long day. Only three locks, but 40 miles. Most of that is through a lake, so we should be able to make good time. Peterborough is a larger town, with transportation to Toronto for Rebecca. We will stay there a couple of nights.
