Southampton, Ontario-Lake Huron

Ya, we made it without the trailer for 2 weeks. We left it at CanAm for some repairs but they were busy and we couldn't wait.....we hauled it out of there before they got to it and headed up to visit our bestie in Southampton.
For PETESAKE! it's summer and next week, a good friend we didn't get to visit in Seattle is coming to town, well, to cottage country in the Kawarthas so next weekend we'll spend the Civic Holiday in Sturgeon Falls. YAY!
     We live on Lake Ontario, and I have always had a relationship with this lake no matter where in Ontario I've lived. Even when I lived in New York, it was Lake Ontario I had to go around to get home and a couple of times I took a ferry across from Rochester to Cherry Beach in Toronto. (So sad they stopped that service)

Lake Huron is distinctly different. It's still a Great Lake so there's a similarity but it has it's own unique personality. I experience it as "wilder". It's further north so the vegetation in and around it is slightly differentand it is unfamiliar so that much more beautiful to me too.



The little town of Southampton is a cute seaside town with a lighthouse and an admirable dedication to preserving it's rich history.  Our friends are one of the early families native to the shores and we love to hear their stories of the lake, the town and the buildings around.
