Paris Landing

We arrived at Paris Landing for the Fall Rendezvous on Saturday. It’s so beautiful here. This is the third state park we’ve been to. I have to say, we’re big fans.

I brought my bike on the Loop hoping to get some exercise. I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting lots this week. The Convention Centre where all of the events are held is about half a mile away. We’ll be back and forthing it several times a day, so I’ll be getting my pedals in. I’d say I’ll be skinny in no time, but there are docktales to consider.

Speaking of which, do you spell it docktale or docktail?

Thanksgiving

Eamonn and Rhonda on Volition organized a pot luck to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, which is on October 10. I didn’t take pictures, but others did, so I hope that they will be shared and that I’ll be able to post some a little later.

The food was delicious and the company was fantastic! Both Canadians and Americans sat down to celebrate but not before a ceremony involving Molson Canadian for the Americans in attendance.

Greg and I shopped for the beer at a wine and liquor store just up the road a bit. We got some Canadian Club as well, and searched for some Canadian wine. We asked the proprietor if he had any wine from Wayne Gretzky’s winery. Nope. That was pretty much the answer that we were expecting. As a vintner, Gretzky is an excellent hockey player. What did surprise us was that the proprietor hadn’t even heard of Wayne Gretzky. We know that things Canadian are often not on American radar, but Gretzky is arguably the greatest hockey player of all time.
