All having gone well, we would have returned from Germany last Wednesday - and that would have been a very rainy, sad day!
As it happened, of course, we never went to Germany; for reasons obvious if you read below.
We did do a few side-trips - one to Toronto and the Scarborough Bluffs. The Bluffs are some very steep cliff-like "shore formations" along Lake Ontario, from somewhere west of Midland Avenue and Kingston Road, to somewhere east of Markham Road and Kingston Road. June had never seen them, so we went in one day, had lunch at Jerusalem (a mediterranen buffet) and thenwent out to Scarborough, Bluffers Park, to see the Bluffs from the bottom, then up to the top, along Cathedral Bluffs Drive (where I had my Rectory during my time as Rector of Christ Church Scarborough Village) to see the same view from up above.

We also went up to Drayton, in the vicintiy of Arthur, ON, to a performance at the Drayton Festival Theatre - "Legends" - a revue of early rock music from the 50's to about the 80's. Lots of energy, lots of good music - recommended!
One of the problems with Drayton is that there is nowhere to eat! At least not in the afternoon. We ended up rushing into Arthur, for some very good homemade tomato and beef soup at a local greasy spoon - I'd recommend it, except I can't remember the name! If there is some entrepeneur out there - highly recommended, start a decent restaurant in Drayton - it can't loose!
On the way home, we stopped for supper at the "At the Crossroads" restaurant, south of Elmira on Hwy. 85. Basically, a Mennonite buffet (thus, no alcohol available), but with lots of choice for everything else! Avoid the tour buses, but otherwise this is a great place to eat - and unlike most buffets, everything is fresh - and save room for dessert.
