Ed's sister Sonya, who lives in Toronto, made the trek to Walkerton for a mini-vacation. We decided to take her to a couple of our favorite places on the Bruce peninsula.
First stop was Wiarton to take a quick look for Willy the famous weather predicting groundhog. Again, no luck in spotting him, so we went for a walk around the beach area and stopped in the museum that is housed in the old railway station. The station itself is a museum piece ... it's a round building with high ceilings that stays nice and cool in the summer.
Second stop was Lion's Head as we wanted to go back to the Lion's Head Inn. Another great meal was had.
Zaph was suitably spoiled at the restaurant. Both waitress's working the porch brought him bowls of water and the people at the next table were quite happy to spend some time petting him.
After lunch we walked down to the beach where you know who just had to get wet. This duck was quite funny. Ed ran out of sticks and stones to throw for Zaph so he started throwing sand balls. The sands balls would split in the air and land in a lot of pieces. We think the duck thought Ed was throwing food and was ready to fight Zaph for it.
I think Lion's Head does a really good job of showing off Georgian Bay. I'm sure there are a million places that are just as beautiful, but this is one of my favorites.
I asked the young fellow working at the marina how Lion's Head got it's name and he said people can see a Lion's Head in the point of the escarpment. Personally, I can't see it.
Last stop of the day was Sauble Beach. Dakota the golden retriever would not go into the water until she saw Zaph playing in the waves.
Back home, Zaph and Sonya relaxing with alligator.
