He was so patient, and told me about the kagawong lake, about why it was shallow and safe for the little ones to swim, and why there are not any black flies, and why the lake was warm to swim while other place was too cold to swim at the same season. Gladly I met Ria, his wife, a kind lady with gentle heart who still missing her husband badly. We shared our story starting with our dogs, Pidi and Goodi, who are both Jack Russel....well, I couldn't believe I drank one bottle of red wine and one bottle of yellow wine with her...meeting wonderful person is part of the excitement of every trip. 

Let the journey begin....
