200 Miles Of Things We Don't Need - Day 2
Expecting visitors, we hit the Farmers' Market and got some fresh vegetables.
Our good friends David and Reenie are traveling to Sault Ste. Marie and stopped here on their way.Reenie brought some lovely flowers.
They arrived around 1:30 and we had lunch at the Quay Street Brewery. The boats were revving up for the time trials so conversation was difficult but the outdoor deck was a great vantage point to watch the boats get placed in and removed from the Black River.

After lunch we drove the Garage Sale route down the St Clair River ending up past Algonac. Reenie found 2 cute pyjama bags and Wendy found 3 bar stools. I'm sure we missed the "early bird" bargains but the weather was perfect, the scenery was good, and there were still bargains later as the prices were marked down.

At one place there was an estate sale and we got to go right inside the house to see their amazing view.
David got talking with an older gentleman who allowed us to tour his boathouse and look at his spectacular old Chris Craft built locally back in the early 50's. The finish was like a piano.
We crossed back into Canada at Algonac on the ferry to the Walpole Island Indian Reserve and drove back to our condo on the Canadian side via the St Clair Parkway.
