So, we just came back from a trip to London where we visited the Advanced Facility for Avian Research, which is run by a couple of old friends of mine. We wanted to check it out, and Maddie did too, as she finds the work cool.Isabelle gave my Mom a painting and was surprised that my Mom wanted to hang it in her living room, well, more honoured really I guess.We camped on the way there and on the way back at Grundy Lake Provincial Park which is about half way between the Sault and London.We also talked some about our friend Alanna, to whom we dedicate this episode.
