I never thought we’d be travelling during the pandemic. But we did. We just got back from Toronto visiting our younger daughter, Robyn, and family. It was so wonderful seeing her, our son-in-law, and two granddaughters. We hadn’t seen them since Christmas, 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a great time. Even swam in a beautiful lake near Georgian Bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint-Marie Among the Hurons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Travelling during the pandemic also meant being careful about where we went. One place we visited was the 17th century Jesuit settlement, Saint-Marie Among the Hurons <\/strong><\/a> Though the site is largely outdoors, the guides and visitors all wore masks. A fascinating history lesson. For example, we learned that the grave of one of the Jesuits, who’d been made a saint, had been dug up so that the Catholic Church could use his bones in one of their churches. Apparently, the Catholic church needed a holy relic in order to conduct mass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
