In Between

We are in Britt Ontario...I am not sure exactly what qualifies a place to get a name, but Britt isn't really a town...it does have a small market (closest grocery is an hour away), a fire department, a Canadian Legion Hall; a library, a school & a nursing center all in one building (no hospital for 40 miles) and a church & cemetery...oh yes, and a marina with WiFi! The folks at Wright's Marina are friendly (4 generations have worked here) and I would say it is a good stop between Parry Sound and Killarney...we picked up a few essentials here...ice, bread, milk, butter, eggs, ice cream! ha ha

We went to Saturday mass at the Catholic Church which was small and sweet...a priest with a thick Irish accent who was hard to understand gave a nice homily about the miracle of feeding the 5000 with 5 loaves of bread and a few fish. I've always liked that miracle. Hmmmm...I wonder how he got this parish?

Tomorrow we are off to The Bustards...a group of islands which are said to be more amazing than anything we've seen so far. This summer is so different than last year...no big cities, no forts, no museums, no tours...Just us and nature, anchoring out in the beautiful bays in the Canadian wilderness with a few neat little stops like Britt in between!
