Today was a day to drive around Erie while Bob and Cathy babysat grandkids. We drove down to Lampe campground where we walked along the south pier, around the dock, around 2nd and Cascade where Laura's grandfather lived and a short ride around the peninsula.
Trip Log
August 21, 2022
Left Watertown this morning and arrived in Erie early this afternoon after driving through some pretty heavy thunderstorms in NY state. We got off the NY thruway in Westfield and drove through Ripley and stopped off at the old house. It looked empty and was in pretty sad shape.

Wished Steve and Laura a happy fiftieth, packed the car, said our goodbyes and headed back to Canada on Friday morning. Arrived at the Auberge Lakeview Inn just after 3.
August 18, 2022
Left Quebec on Tuesday morning, golfed in Lac-Megantic about 15 miles north of the Maine border. It was a very nice course but we were so tired and play was slow, so we skipped the 18th hole and gave ourselves all birdies. We spent the night at Steve and Laura's condo at Sugarloaf.
August 15, 2022
Today was a day for touring Quebec. The ladies headed out for some shopping and Steve and I went for a ride on the Big Red Bus, an open top, double decker bus with 14 stops and on and off ability. It was a great ride so we texted the ladies to see if they wanted to join us.
August 14, 2022
Today was a golf day at Montmorency but since the reservations were made in a different time zone, we weren't exactly when the tee time was. So we went very early and learned the tee time was later. This gave us the chance to visit the Montmorency falls in the same area.
August 13, 2022
We had a nice drive to Quebec City and much of it along the St. Lawrence River. Not a lot of fun driving in a big city but we made it to the 'Chateau Bellevue' in downtown Quebec City by 3 as we gained an hour coming from Atlantic time.
August 12, 2022
Left Halifax yesterday morning after a wonderful visit and headed to Bayhurst, New Brunswick about 300 miles northwest. We took a little detour along the Acadia Coastal Drive to see a little more of the shore.
August 10, 2022
We went down to Peggy's Cove today about 25 miles Southwest of Halifax. It is a little seaside town on a rocky coast. It was a great ride down the coast as we drove around bays and through small villages and wilderness areas. There were a lot of tourists walking around town and the rocks.
August 9, 2022
Left the house at 8:30 and stopped at the Duty-Free shop before crossing the border. We each bought a bottle of our choice for our time in Canada. The border crossing went smoothly and we had a nice drive through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia before arriving at our hotel in Halifax at 3:30.
