Left Sault Ste. Marie and crossed the International Bridge into Ontario, Canada. What a dreary day!
Drove through hundreds of miles of moose country without spotting a moose! Drove along Lake Huron for awhile, but couldn't see much through the rainfall. Everything seemed so gray. Tried to stop and get coffee at a gas station, but they only had a half a pot of coffee that looked like the store worker had brought it in that day from home. Ate on the road b/c without stops the drive was going to be 10.5 hours. Eek. Wanted to take one of the ferries, but it only left twice per day and would have added another 2 hours to the day! Sooo, we drove and drove and the rain finally stopped when we were almost to Toronto. Drove through the city, but continued on to the Canadian town of Niagara Falls. Caught a look at Lake Ontario as we drove across one of the local bridges. It was so eerie when we arrived because there was low-hanging fog and we couldn't see the falls initially. It was also so silent and the still ponds poured into a rushing rapids and then just dumped off the edge of the world. We thought we were at the bottom of the falls, but we were actually at the top! Also illuminate the falls at night, which added to the creepy quality of the scene.
Both the animals were so needy and exhausted by the end of the day. They love Nathan!
