A Layover Day

The RV Park that we are set up at, has no sewer hookups, and we checked out the other one, and it also has no sewer lines to the RV parking sites.  This means that we get to use the parks showers every day.   I looked at the showers and they are very well done and very clean, but it is still an adjustment for Anne-Marie and I to leave the trailer to take a shower.

Yesterday, Anne-Marie and I didn’t even leave the RV Park, it was just a hang around day, watching the Olympics on Canadian TV, doing stuff on the computer, and walking around the park.  It seems like it has been over a week since we had a day of resting up, travel days drain me by the time we arrive and get utilities set up, and our touring days have been jam packed with numbing activities.  It was kind of relaxing to not have a schedule pushing us for the day.  The TV here in Sault Ste Marie is off of the air, no cable in this or the other RV park, and the only channels are from the Canadian Sault Ste Marie, across the water.  The Olympics focus on the Canadian teams, but do include the US results, and the local programing has a different twist on humor with the comedy sitcoms.

This is a view of our trailer, with Canada across the water.  This is a quiet park setting, there is a road a few hundred feet behind us, and the big boats toot their big deep sounding horns once in a while, but I seem to not hear or pay attention. 

Friday Afternoon, we went to the border crossing, so I could ask if our Oregon Drivers Licenses alone would allow us to pass over and back the US/Canada border, and the word is “No”, we will also need our birth certificate in hand.  This isn’t a problem for us as we are carrying  all of that kind of ID with us, but it is normally in the trailer, so if we choose to cross, we might do a dry run without the trailer in tow, just to see what the system is.  The folks at the Customs Border Crossing, seem to be a real serious bunch, as they all had a gun on their hip.

Today, and all rested up, I am looking forward to doing a lot of the tourist stuff, around town.
