Waterfalls and Warplane Heritage Museum

Today was overcast and occasionally rainy. Not ideal weather for Thanksgiving day and doing much of anything. After a slow start to the day Susan made some great crepes for breakfast after which I sat and read and got up to date with the latest news. Emma and Catherine were both very busy studying and keen to get work done before their flight back to Halifax.

Late in the morning I went out with Jane, David and Susan for a walk to see Webster's Falls and Tew's Falls. It was warm out at the time and we had a pleasant walk along the trail between the two waterfalls. In many places there was no fence to stop you falling down into the ravine some way below. It was busy there with it being a bank holiday and there were many more people arriving as we left. Good to see so many people out and about enjoying nature but it would have been a bit too busy had we arrived later with it being quite the tourist spot.

We came back to the house and had some lunch then it was time for the two girls to pack their things, say their goodbyes and David drove them up to Toronto for their flight. Myself, Jane, Susan and Nancy drove to visit the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. They had some information on the Canadian airforce and particularly its role in World War II but more interesting were the selection of aircraft on show so many of which were still in a good state to fly. This included a Lancaster Bomber, one of only two still flying in the world. It was great to see it so close up. I was able to sit in one of the Fleet Fort aircraft and enjoyed a less than successful attempt at flying using one of their simulators. I picked up a Toronto guide as we left which should come in handy over the next few days. 

We've used up more of the leftover turkey tonight and some of the yummy deserts. It's very quiet at the house with two of the girls gone. David and I went out just now for a quick walk around the block. It feels a bit humid and is expected to be getting hotter tomorrow when I move on for the final stop on my trip before I head home.
