Unexpected Adventures

I did want to get up today, but breakfast was calling.  Today it was yogurt with fruit and Elisabeth's excellent granola, but she had done it in a different dish.

The main was a spinache omelette,bacon, and English muffin.

No monotony here.  We hung around waiting for our ride, Our host took us to where the horse she rides lives and we met Mandy who took us on our ride.

 My horse was Ben. He was a rescue draft horse who has no teeth.

Poor Ben, but also poor Caroline as I LOVE a horses nose and his was drooly green slop and I wore it for duration of the ride.  Jodi's horse was named Maverick but he too was a BIG boy.  We rode through some beautiful country, Mandy leading the way, Maverick behind her, Ben trying to push his way to the front and Elisabeth on Belle at the back.

It was a nice day for it and Jodi said it was good.  We decided to go to Wasaga Beach then and see what there was to see.  It is the longest freshwater beach in the world,  logging in at 14km.

Located on Gregorian bay of Lake Huron it Was lovely, but there was so much surf that one could think that one was at the ocean.

It was brisk, cool and lovely.

 We had a hard time figuring out where we could place the buggy, and finally decided not to pay to park as it would only  accept 6 dollars at a time and I was not wanting to pay that.

At last we strolled on the beach, it was windy and my ears and fingers were cold, inspite of my jean jacket and Jodi's vest.

We hung there for a while, just enjoying the beauty of the earth.  Elisabeth suggested that we try a place called Il Buco

and since neither of us had eaten since breakfast it sounded good, at least better than chewing on Jodi's arm!  We started with bread and a roasted red pepper hummus, followed by shared Caprese Salad.  Jodi had Manacoti,

and I had Parpardelle Bologonese.

And of course some  wine, though we did hit up the LCBO tonight on the way to dnner!  After a warm bath I believe that we are ready for bed!
