A rude awakening this morning as the outside temperature was around 5°C, it barely made it into double digits by mid afternoon.
After breakfast we headed out for the daily walk and managed to increase the distance to 1¼ miles today, a 2 mile walk seems a reasonable goal to meet before we leave! The park is really filling up again prior to the weekend, not sure whether there is something on sports wise or whether it is just the week-end crowds invading.
After lunch we headed out to visit the historical area of Brunswick, although there are signs to point you in the right direction, it is still not the easiest of places to find. We eventually found a number of the old large houses, but today they are mixed in with small bungalows, and in some case almost shacks in the less salubrious areas of the town. Here are some of the better kept houses

We then wen down to the water front where there are some modern condo’s and a fishing wharf, but a cool breeze off the water cut short any thoughts of walking along the river.
We had a Skype session with Paul. Amanda and Noah before dinner. It seems Noah is quite used to this way of communicating with his grandparents. Evidently he now recognises the Skype ringtone on the computer and looks at the screen waiting for us to appear.
Despite the cooler temperature we managed our 3rd BBQ in a row tonight. Now the week-end is here we can look forward to a couple of days relaxation.
