Yesterday afternoon, we attended a going away party for Bob and Kathy Hughes who are heading home to North Carolina. Last night, we were invited to sit around a camp fire by Norm and Barb, our full timer neighbours. We had lots of questions for them as it is certainly something we have been considering doing ourselves. What a great way to see North America.
This morning, Chris and I joined Jane and her friend Pat on a kayak trip up Peace River. Chris and I each had our own kayaks, while Jane and Pat shared a tandem. The water was very clear and quite warm. We had to portage some small rapids on the way up stream but managed to run them easily coming back. What a great way to see wildlife. We saw numerous turtles out sunning themselves on logs jutting out of the water. No gators though. Plenty of egrets fishing for their dinners as well. We paddled about two miles upstream which was a bit of a work out before turning 
around and basically drifting almost all the way home. The river shack on the left is one of a handful we saw along the river. We could hear country music coming from it while we were still downstream, long before we saw it. Didn't see anyone around it though. Made me think of the movie Deliverance for some reason.
We got back in time for a nap before pickleball. Unfortunately, games were rained out after only an hour tonight. We joined Jim and Jane at the Pioneer restaurant in Zolfo Springs for supper. Haddock, sweet potato fries, hush puppies, corn fritters and cole slaw. Yummy!
