Wawa, Ont Sept 7 & 8

Hi, we really liked Wawa.  On Sept 7th we walked on the waterfront and it took all of 5 minutes.  Then we went to the Trading Post, really neat old store with all sorts of things in it.  The golf course was across the road from the store and we played 9 holes, that's all it is but it is a full length 9 holes.  Had some good shots and lots of bad ones too, but we had FUN.  Then it was off to see the falls, when we got there we realized we saw them on the way out but took some pictures, in case you forget what they look like.  We went to Sandy Beach on Lake Superior, goes for miles and we were the only ones there.  Bill got into the water as you will see and had his freedom, if you get my drift.  I won't post that picture, it might scare you.  We stayed at Northern Lights Motel and they have a restaurant.  It is owned by Polish people and food was delicious.  This morning we went back into town and took pictures of the geese statues.  Dedicated when they completed the last link of the highway around Lake Superior.
On the road heading east and came across Agawa Rock Pictographs.  It had a caution posted as it is very rugged.  I couldn't go the whole way but Bill did and he said I probably wouldn't have been able to go  on the ledge to see them.  They were created by the Ojibwa tribe.  The beach just up the road was another sandy calm beach.
When had a pit stop in Sault Ste Marie I noticed we had picked up a hitchhiker, he's below.
We continued on and are staying in Thessalon, Ont on Lake Huron.   We missed the actual sun going down but the after effects, you will see below.

We've often said the best sunsets in the world are over Shad Bay, NS : )

Never heard of WaWa or Agawa. You got some great pictures. The climb to Agawa looked amazing.

Was someone buried in the sand at the Agawa beach (the cross)?

I had the forensic people here at work enhance the picture of Billy enjoying his "freedom". I see he lost the bar of soap, ha.

Polish food. Pls. send me an e-mail and tell me what ya'll ate. It's not about the travels, it's about the food!!!!

Keep on trucking.
