I can't believe that we only have five days left. I had thought that I would be bored by three weeks in Charlevoix which is why I set up such a punishing pace of sightseeing in Mexico. But I am exhausted by the constant activity up here. People to visit, places to go, food to be eaten and games to be played.
There seems to be a constant parade of social activity and so many things to be achieved.
Today Tom is going for his American driver's licence after which we will play the obligatory round of tennis. Or maybe not. We haven't played for the last couple of days. Not only were our bodies bruised and battered but the weather turned suddenly cold and blustery.
Last night we had the luxury of staying in Phil and Cathy's house alone. It was wonderful to just sit on the couch in front of the fire and wallow in the silence.
We have been eating our way through the left overs from the pre- wedding party that Cathy threw for her daughter Sarah. Everybody is now on Mackinac Island awaiting the huge wedding.
It is cold but sunny and the chipmunks are scurrying and the waves are lapping. Tom has begun to erect a tent for a possible camp in our new house tonight.
It will be interesting to see what happens. Another night in front of the fire in the cozy cottage......
Followed by a gentle lie in.......
Or a night in the wilds with racoons and chipmunks running riot all around us? Watch this space for the next exciting instalment!
