On Friday, we returned to the Merritt Trail to walk the other direction from Glendale Avenue. We passed some historical markers, walked through a pretty park along the old locks, and along a road near a nice neighborhood.
Signage on post to indicate both the Merritt Trail and Bruce Trail, which run together here.
is the site of locks 16-21 of the second Welland Canal
(currently on the fourth).
Yesterday, we got out for a second walk with Jack in the late morning ahead of the predicted rain. We just took him to a trail around a school and into a neighborhood fairly close to the house. I didn’t bring my camera, as I didn’t think it would be much, and the trail was fine but not special. But on the way to the start, we saw a young couple pushing a stroller and walking their cat on a leash. Missed pic opportunity.
Yesterday afternoon we decided to get out to visit one of the wineries we had visited last time, Megalomaniac. We were planning to go anyway, but Bob saw on their website that during November, you could get a free tasting at the bar if you said you were a Megalomaniac fan. Not to be cheap (well why not?), but that sounded good to us. We each got supposedly 2oz (but think it was more) of 3 of their wines. We each tried different ones, so we could try more of them. We had a chat with the nice pourer, enjoyed the wines, and perused the fun wine-themed merchandise. My favorites were a magnet that said, “What wine goes with laundry?” And a tote bag that read, “Corks are for quitters.” It was a (they have great names for their wines) lovely outing, all for the cost of a lovely bottle of Pompous red wine.
It’s on the highest point of the escarpment.
It’s Magritte’s “Son of Man.”
