Day 38: Canada

Our first view of the Falls

Wednesday July 20

Wed July 20 is another day of travel and we are greeted by rain showers as we pack up and head out.  The weather soon clears up and becomes oppressive again.  We are crossing Michigan and then entering Canada at Port Huron.  The girls are exited for their first trip to a foreign country but they do not like the wait at the border crossing.  The lady at the crossing asks a few questions about where we are from, how long we have been on the road, etc and lets us through with no issues.  I am so thankful on this leg of our trip that we have the GPS as I am finding it harder to navigate using my printed directions.  The signs are all in English but use the metric system.  We finally pull into the KOA around 5:30pm.   The campground is right on Lundy’s Lane and is close to everything but also very quiet (especially at night).  We do not have food for dinner so we head downtown.  We drive by the falls for our first look and see a nice rainbow over the falls.  We choose dinner at a local brewpub.  The parking lot is full but when we walk in, the place is dead.  (We later realize the cars are parked for the Italian restaurant next door).  The menu consists only of 3 course meals or appetizers but we find something to have.  Isabella orders pasta and what comes is macaroni and cheese that she doesn’t care for.  The food is okay but slow service.  It is late by the time we get back to the camper.
