June Visit to Brockville

Last week Terry and I drove to Brockville, about an hour south of Ottawa - on the St. Lawrence River.

The town seemed quieter than usual for this time of year...

Our favorite bakery had closed at 2 - and we arrived at 3...

What a disappointment...

So we headed for the river walk...

Terry sometimes talks about buying a condo in this tall building on the river. We visited one once, but concluded that the units are really too small for us. The view would be lovely, but I'm not ready to abandon all my hobbies! And I wouldn't have room for them all there...

My solution: Perhaps to rent a place on the river for a few weeks a year.

But we haven't done that yet... Day trips are easy - and we can always end the day sleeping in our own bed!

We noticed a few  teenage girls standing near the water - dressed up in their prom dresses - taking pictures of each other...

Had the Corona-virus pandemic cancelled their graduation festivities, including their prom?

As we walked along, we noticed things we had never noticed before - like this interesting archway... Maybe next time, we can explore it.

Also this lovely mural...

An old clock...

Ships sailing down the St. Lawrence River...

We may have missed out on the baked goods  we were looking forward to - but still had an interesting day.
