Visit to Ontario

I accompanied my daughter, Lynne, and granddaughter, Nikki, to Ontario this past week. My son, Mark, was available to pick us up in Hamilton and drive us to Toronto. Nikki was taking part in the National Volley Ball Tournament there.  While Nikki joined her team mates in the Hilton Hotel down town, Lynne stayed in an Air B&B not far way. Lynne and Nikki had never been in Toronto before so Mark gave us a tour. Stopped for lunch at Brazen Head Pub within walking distance.

I spent 5 lovely days at Mark and Svava's new home near Hagarville, south of Hamilton.  They just purchased this quaint house with an century-old barn and silos. They are in the process of renovating the house and an art studio and landscaping the yard.

When Nikki was finished the Volley Ball Nationals, she and Lynne took the train out to Hamilton. Mark picked them up at the Aldershot Station. On Sunday Mark took us to Niagara Falls and gave us a tour of the area around southern Ontario. The took a tour down under the falls.
