"The Square" Goderich, Ontario

Today the rains came. I postponed my day trip to Tobormorey until tomorrow. So instead of heading north, I headed south. To visit the town of Goderich. Which is located 31 miles (50KM) to the south of Kincardine. Shortly after arriving In Goderich. The rain came in full force. As it rained fairly heavy for at least two hours. I did some shopping. My thrift store hunting. Shopping is just a fun activity when it is raining outside.

Then when the rain had finally diminished. I headed to downtown Goderich. To enjoy some lunch and have a lot around at "The Sqaure" as it is known by the people who live in Goderich. The downtown area is designed into a circle of businesses, with the Goderich courthouse located in the center.

I have included some photos I took today of the "The Square".

Sunsets Over Lake Huron!

This post is dedicated to viewing beautiful sunsets over Lake Huron. During my summer trip to visit the Bruce Peninsula. "The only thing that helps me pass the time away, is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach again one day" "Echo Beach Far Away in Time" Mark Gane 1980

The Beach- Kincardine, Ontario

These first two photos were taken at sunset yesterday!
I now present to you. The natural Dune Beach. That is located on the shoreline of Lake Huron in Kincardine, Ontario. This is the nicest beach that I have seen and swam on during my summer vacation 2015.

To Southampton, From Port Elgin

Today after I finished breakfast. I enjoyed a nice bike ride in my travel town of Kincardine. I must say I got lucky on picking this very quaint Ontario town for my summer holiday destination. It is a great place to stay. Has the nicest beach I have discovered located on Lake Huron. The small town atmosphere definitely agrees with the Travel Wolfe very much. I will do a post on the Beach located in Kincardine, coming up next.

After I completed the first bike ride of my day. I loaded my bike into my Elantra and headed north to the town of Port Elgin, located 44 KM (27 miles) driving up highway 21. My destination was the public beach located in Port Elgin. Which is a much bigger town then Kincardine. The beach area is also much larger then Kincardine. But not as nice in my opinion. My plan was to ride my bike to the town of Southampton. Located just a few KM north of Port Elgin. To my delight there is a excellent bike path that hugs the shore of Lake Huron leading right to Southamption. The bike path ends. When you have reached Huron St. Which takes you right to the main street of Southampton. Which is High St. I enjoyed a very nice lunch at a local restaurant named "The Lighthouse".

On the return bike ride I was feeling very relaxed and happy that I have again escaped the wrath of the rat race. For just a few more days. For that I am very grateful!
The next two photos are of a very well restored and maintained 1967 French Citroën. That I found parked along Hurron St. in Southampton. Not something that you will come across everyday!
