Yes, we left the booming metropolis of Barry's Bay and the comfort of the Hilton, Metro. It is on to Ottawa. But not without a stop along the way to visit long, lost relatives in Petawawa, Ontario. Note to those who have always been wary of Ontario outback vacations, we saw a lot of beautiful countryside.
Not ten minutes into our big trip to Ottawa, we stopped at the church in Wilno, Canada's oldest Polish settlement by the way, Ontario. Is is the feast day today of Our Lady of Czestochowa, and this is a church dedicated to her. Wilno knows how to build a beautiful church.
Highway 17 guided us through the landscape of gently rolling farms and countryside. We visited the rest rooms in such featured Canadian towns such as Pembroke(a town famed for being the prettiest town in Canada), Cobden (population 1,000. Imagine, exactly 1,000. Unchanging. This city council has the birth to death ratio down to a fine art) and Arnprior (main feature appeared to be the massive hydro-electric thingy). An excellent idea would be for places which house public restrooms to post town histories and feature sheets for those just passing through for potty stops.
I'm serious! I want to know more about you small towns without having to spend a lot of time there. Really.
