We spent the weekend at L's boyfriend's family's cottage in Muskoka, a couple of hours drive north of Toronto. We were treated very well, it was like a mini vacation and they are a lovely family. It was a friendly gesture on their part, not so much an indication of a serious relationship, although the young couple seem besotted with each other at this time! An added bonus was the fact that they have internet access, so I was able to stay 'connected'.
They have a nice boat, so we boated around Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau (all connected), viewed multi million dollar cottages (owned by movie stars and business magnates) and had lunch at a patio restaurant in the Marriott resort up there. They have a lovely cottage but it wasn't one of the huge mansions we saw, which is probably just as well. I took a photo of the sunset by their cottage for you.
In a strange coincidence, K discovered his friend was also at his own cottage, which was quite close to where we were staying, so he was able to visit and spend some time with him. They actually went to see 'The Dark Knight' batman movie in town one night. Everyone was talking about the terrible Colorado tragedy. Our sympathies are with the victims.
