So it was another beach day in Port Dover today and the water was FREEZING. I don't get it. It's been thirty-plus here for WEEKS. (well over ninety, sometimes closer to one hundred throughout the day) yet the water is cold, cold, cold. It's okay once you're in, but walking in is brutal. The sun beats down on you so you think "Okay, great time to head into the water, and BAM, you are assaulted with "frigid Friday" temperatures.
In the end it's worth it because a) it cools you right off and b) it gets you away from the thirty people seated behind you (all in one family) who insist on a) speaking in another language (Italian I think) and b) doing so very loudly and then cackling with laughter. Yes, I said cackling as in giving the wicked witch of the west a run for her money.This, as they spread their kids' toys all over creation and expect you to squeeze in to any square inch of space they dane to leave you. Very frustrating. The picnic was good though:-) (as usual) Mom does a killer potato salad.
I won't tell you about the too expensive "homemade" ice-cream that wasn't even very good . This, when I had a coupon for "buy one, get one free" at Tim Horton's (Yes, some locations sell ice-cream) and we passed right by it. Lesson learned. Coupons rock. :-)
All in all, much better than sitting around waiting for the snow to fall, cold water or not. :-)
