We took a very picturesque route and drove to Niagara on the Lake. It is a beautiful little town in the Ontario wine country. Our B&B was nice and the owner gave us coupons for free wine tasting. We walked with Bo’s friends into town and stopped for lunch in an Italian café. Bo’s friends then left to return to their home in Windsor. We walked around the picturesque downtown stopping at 2 wineries in town where we sampled local white, red and ice wines. Then we walked to the edge of town where the lake meets the river. The temperature was pushing 100. We walked back to the B&B and rested before driving back to town for dinner. Dinner was eventful. I ordered trout and they brought 2 slabs of pink fish. I told the waitress I thought it was salmon and she said “you are the second person who told me that this week”. We had a visit from a beautiful skunk. It had a lot of white and a black stripe. It showed up a couple of time leaving a faint smell, but not too bad.
(Note: Lake trout is quite different from brook trout. Lake trout can weigh 100 lbs. Later we saw lake trout at Lawrence Market in Toronto and it was indeed big and pink)
