Visiting smalltown Ontario aka Gossipville

Have been trying to post this all day but the sattelite internet connection here is not working when it is bad weather.

Spend the weekend with Rebecca's parents in Deep River which is a "short" 3½ hour drive north of Kingston (in 3½ hours you can drive across the entire country of Denmark). Anyways it was a wonderful weekend where we had a very nice thanksgiving diner and went for a hike to High Falls. It was beautiful and we were lucky with the weather that day as it was warm when we got to the water. Deep River is a small town where apparently everyone knows everyone (and what they are doing. And who they are with. And when. And why. And where). Very interesting to experience that. Thanks to Rebecca's parents for the hospitality.

I am teaching Mike to use his SLR camera, so we have been shooting photos all weekend. Some of the photos below are shot by him, so gotta give him some credit :) I have currently awarded him a 3 stripe white lens in photography and Photoshop, he is a fast learner.

Tomorrow I am heading on to Niagra Falls to stay with Rich. I am taking a train to Toronto and will have a 2½ hour stop there, so I will have time for a walk around to check out the city and shoot some pictures there.

...where they ride strange (but cool!) bikes.

Rebecca's parents by their house in Deep River.

They spend a year in Denmark back in 1964 and still had an old H. C. Andersen book.

It was quite cold when we left for the hike in the morning.

We went all the way to the bottom of the fall and took silly eighties style karate poster photos.

Hai!

Trivia: Can you see the ninja following me?

Tyson trying to decide wether or not to jump in the (cold) water.

The only wildlife I saw in Canada. The whole moose and bear thing is a scam I believe.
