On the way to the pig roast last week, did a little tour of small town Ontario.
Well, a tour of at least
one small town in Ontario.
And that would be Portland, Ontario, on the shores of Rideau Lake, part of the Rideau Canal system.
The houses in the first pic are shown here as the little brick coloured (?) boxes on Campbell St.
We decided to walk around the town. Which we did in about ten minutes.
But not before we took time out to visit a marina for a bite and a beverage.
On a cool little roof top patio, full of French Canadians and
Americans. In fact, it was hard to find any Ontario plates on the
streets.
But disaster was barley diverted when a sneaky, silver snake slithered silently (hmmm, not bad) towards a brave, unflinching Toronto City Boy, about to bite his ear.
Or not.
Portland is just a tiny little village, but some beautiful examples of turn of the century attention to architectural detail.
Great that they have been kept in such good repair.
Or else, well obviously not a
30 story condo going up, but at least mid 20's.
