Wow! What a Weekend

This was one of our busiest weekends so far this summer.
We started off Saturday with the London Ribfest, a trip to Port Elgin, a hike over the Menesetung Bridge and through the Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trails in Goderich and a look at the Salt Mines.

Then Sunday we visited Fort Malden in Amherstburgh for the Military Heritage Day, followed by a walk around town to see the cars and their proud owners at the Amherstburg's Gone Car Crazy and travelled to the Emancipation Day Celebrations at Windsor's Civic Plaza. Finally an opportunity to taste jerk chicken (vicariously), which I was told, is very spicy but soooo good.

I'm guessing there are a whole lot of people not sitting at their computers this weekend, if the turnout at the various functions is an accurate indicator. If you were one of the lucky people out there, we'd love to see your pics.... in the meantime, check out ours by clicking on the links in this blog entry.

The links open in new windows.
Enjoy!

Congratulations Mr. President

Today I witnessed the making of history.
The inauguration of the 44th president of the United States of America and with it, the promise of a new beginning for America and it's northern neighbour, Canada.

"Starting today we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America"

President Barack Obama,
Inaugural speach
