Sault Ste Marie, Echo Bay, Wawa, Thunder Bay













Hello everybody! Jon and I drove to Echo Bay to take a picture of their big loonie. I have to say, the loonie looked better than the nickel we saw yesterday at Sudbury because you could see rectangular pieces of metal that made up the nickel but the loonie was nice and smooth. However, both were nice. We then drove back to Sault Ste.Marie. We scootered/skateboarded along the boardwalk and found a relatively large camel and 2 fishes. Then we drove to Strathclair Park and took a picture of a big baseball.

We then headed to Wawa where we saw not one but three large geese. We also went to Scenic High Falls where we saw falls 38m across and 23m high. There were signs that showed how the falls can change from a mere trickle to a flood of water in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, we did get to see the flood of water but it was still quite a sight. We then went to our good friend, Tim Horton’s, and bought 2 cheese bagels with herb and garlic cream cheese, a medium ice capp and 10 timbits. I normally get 12 grain but they ran out. They had strawberry and blueberry powdered timbit (mini donuts) which Jon liked.

We drove by White River which is “where it all began” for Winnie the Pooh. I thought the display was quite cute.

Jon would like me to tell you that his hair looks like David Beckham’s, the British soccer player. You may notice it in the pictures. It is a result of him sleeping funny.

We drove to Marathon to get two papa burgers from A and W because Jon had been craving them since yesterday. We’ll be staying at Thunder Bay tonight. As we were driving in, we saw the Terry Fox monument which is 12km west of where he stopped running. He is facing westward in the direction of his goal. We’ll be heading to Winnipeg tomorrow.

Have a good night!
