On Monday we packed up the sewer pipe and shoved off for Perth, Ontario, which is about 50 miles southwest of Ottawa. We figured this would be super opportunity for Jo-Anne's dad to see the place he grew up and where Jo and her brother Rick were born. We are staying in Perth because it is where George and Ruth Moore, friends of the Martins lived and Ruth as a widow is still living. Bill Martin is staying with her in Perth rather than in the cramped quarters of the Flying Scotsman. Actually the park, McCreary's Beach Holiday Resort, that we are in is very nice and located on Mississippi Lake just to the north of Perth.









I'll have a bunch more pictures of the Ottawa and Perth area when I get the time to sit down and compose them a bit. In the meantime here is a nice one of Jo and her Dad at O'Reilly's Pub in Perth where we had lunch today. Tonight is Chinese food in Smith's Falls with Ruth.






And finally, after two years of resisting the urge ... we have flamingos ...?! They reside back at our permanent site in Meaford and didn't make the trip here to the Ottawa area ... too much competition from the Canada Geese, eh.
