We spent all day in Merrickville. It is a very interesting old town. It is also Stan’s (my dad)
birthplace. He left before he was two and the family does not have a lot of history in the area.
Unfortunately it rained hard and then drizzled off and on all morning. I found the library and used the internet for weather, e-mail a
nd the previous posts. Diana spent the time on the boat, painting, croqueting and reading.
Finally mid afternoon it cleared a bit and we had a nice walk around this lovely town. There are
many old buildings.
On the way back to the boat the ice cream shop looked very attractive. They have all homemade ice cream with many interesting and unusual flavors, many with local ingredients. I had a rhubarb ice cream that was wonderful.
A good day, less rain would be nice.
After a short rest and some socializing we walked back to the Main Street Family Restaurant for a nice pasta dinner.
The Kawartha Voyageur cruise boat (see Bobcaygeon entry for description) had docked at the
blue line for the night. After dinner I walked over and had a nice conversation with Brian, the engineer and John the Captain/Owner.
Then I walked back to the library to check e-mails and the weather.
