We are still in Pefferlaw at the Riverview Campground and it is HOT and it is HUMID!!
Thank goodness the air conditioning on the bus is working A-1 as we have it on just about 24 hours to get some relief. When you go outside, you just melt, especially, as we are, not used to it. We just had a horrendous downpour go thru for about 20 minutes and now that the sun has come back out, it is a steam bath out there. Walked out to take out the garbage and came back drenched from the humidity.
We have not done very many exiciting things over the past few days. Still feeling no energy as a result of these colds. We did yesterday however, go into Newmarket (50 KM SW of here) which was a beautiful drive thru the green rolling hills; to go the medical clinic. Good news: we'll live!! Bad News: it may take a few more days.
Dale has an ear pain/ache; sinus congestion/nose and cough. I was worried he would develop pneumonia but his chest is clear. Got some meds for him and then I was diagnosed as having Bronchitis, so meds for me as well. We started on them last night and hope that in the next 36-48 hours we will start feeling some relief. The humid air does not help me and was also prescribed an Inhaler to use every 4-6 hours or so. Does help the breathing somewhat.
On the way to Newmarket we did take a few side roads towards Lake Simcoe and found some beautiful little parks and beaches and nooks and crannies that, if we get time, will go back to and have a picnic, all being well. Newmarket itself is a good size city and the "old town" is very pretty. Actually took some pictures this time and will take more when we go there on our next travel stop. After we filled our prescriptons at Costco, went to a chinese restaurant for dinner before heading home.
We went to a place call "Mandarin". It is a chinese buffet and absolutely out of this world. Ambience, service, food, layout..cannot say enough positive things about it. We were very impressed. And the best part, 20% off for seniors!!!! Highly recommend it for anyone in the Newmarket area.
On Saturday and Sunday past, we did go into Sutton (8 km west)to have a look around and go for a drive each day. Another charmingly small and old Ontario town. This one is somewhat larger than Pefferlaw (which has a post office, liquor store, convenience store, garage, one or two other businesses and that is it)and does boast a laundromat which we put to good use on Sunday. That, plus a place that serves the best fish and chips that we have had in a good long time.
Today has been a relatively quiet day which I have spent being quite lazy. Dale is off in the car (either that or he has been kidnapped and the car has been stolen). He went outside and the next thing is he disappeared. Just getting a few little chores done around the bus and getting a bit of reading in.
So, until next time, keep smiling!
