We finally made it to Port of Orillia, Ontario. We had been working to get here for a couple of days, but due to lock issues, we were delayed. It was good to be here.
We did a quick walk around town and of course found an Irish Pub for some refreshment and snack.

That evening, we were picked up by our friends from Tara Golf and Country Club, Don McIntyre and Leslie Bailey, who took us in Leslie’s new convertible BMW to the country club in Orillia where they were members – Braestone.
They treated us to a great dinner, and we had a lot of fun talking with them!
Beautiful Golf Course and country club 
After dinner, Larry and Mary walked to the Couchiching Beach park near the marina to see the Champlain Monument — considered the one of the finest bronze statues in North America.
Unfortunately the monument was not there…
Whatt! — No Monument!
