A Ride in a Hot Car

On the ferry boat to USA - Click to enlarge
It was a nice hot (maybe a little too hot) day so we decided to take the old Olds down the St Clair Parkway down river to Sombra where we caught the $6 ferry boat ride over to Marine City Michigan before we drove back up the American side back to the Bluewater Bridge. I always enjoy this ride but with the temperature hovering around 90, it became a little uncomfortable. I had hoped it would be a little cooler near the river but… Not.

Do you remember how hot it was before there was air conditioning in cars?

We couldn’t get over how many homes were for sale the entire way up the US side. It seemed properties for sale numbered one in ten or even one in five in places! Literally hundreds of them. This contrasts with the Canadian side where we saw less than five “For Sale” signs all the way down river. It would certainly seem to be a good time to buy a waterfront property in the States.
