Day 1 - my birthday - a good - after

Good morning all, I write this from our balcony in Jordon Ontario overlooking a very still and serene marina and Lake Ontario.  As for yesterday, once we made it through the nightmarish mess of the Burlington Skyway (which was closed) we finally make it to Baranga's on the Beach where we met up with Ron Ferguson for lunch on the patio.  It was great to see him again and we enjoyed lunch and a "beverage" on the patio.  Thanks to Ron mentioning to the waitress it was my birthday we also enjoyed a complementary slice of Baklava for dessert :-)
The day was HOT HOT HOT and sunny - and we finally made it to our hotel in Jordon.  After a late day siesta and wondering around the grounds and marina we took the "A" out of the trailer and drove a whole 850 metres to the Lake House Restaurant for dinner.  It was PACKED with a 45 minute wait for patio seating.  Worth the wait though, as once seated it was the perfect evening. watching the sunset over the lake and we enjoyed a delicious meal.  As you know holidays are all about food to me *laugh*  I had the Seared Sea Scallops with truffle scented mushroom and herb risotto topped with crispy leeks.  Oh was it good - Scallops have to be cooked to perfection for me to like them and these were :-)
Then we drove a whole 850 meters back to the hotel where Glenn loaded the A on the trailer again (a lot of work for a short distance I know, but you couldn't walk it and it was easier than unhooking the trailer. 

Now onto Day 2 - we are heading out shortly for Ithaca, hopefully the wait times at the border are not too long. 

Talk soon :-) photo's later when I have faster internet connection.
