Presqu’ile
Presqu’ile Provincial Park is one of my favourite places.
My mom had me drive out there to Brighton today for an art and craft show and sale. And while I’m not a huge fan of that sort of thing, it was actually a rather nice craft show with reasonably-priced locally hand-made stuff (unlike the usual made in China crap you usually get at craft shows), and the art gallery had the artists there showing they’re stuff (not that I talked to them of course).
The nice thing, though, was walking through the park between the craft show and the art gallery at the old lighthouse. It was a beautiful day, and there are more leaves on the trees here. We saw two different species of woodpecker, one of which was very large. It was all nice and calm and peaceful and I got to talk to my mom about stuff.
My plan for today was to take the camera and post pictures of Belleville and Presqu’ile and stuff, but I ended up leaving the camera at home. So this is all you get.

Presqu’ile is kind of built on that tourist economy. Brighton is full of bed and breakfasts, spas, etc. I still remember that tea room we hit during AppleFest — not sure they knew what to make of us.
Good to hear that you enjoyed the show. Robin and I should probably do something like that at some point… though the only other people (save yourself) who do that kind of thing are my Dad and step-mother…
I’ll probably drop you a line through something other than a comment in the near future. (As it is, I’m recovering from my 7 AM wake-up call… :-) )
