Day 120 Prescott, ON

We had Lise to SAG for us today, so we got to ride unloaded.  It was a nice change from lugging the panniers with us.  It was a good route.  Much of it was on Ontario's Waterfront Trail and ran right along the St. Lawrence River.

Another view we enjoyed all day was Jacques riding behind us.

We went through the very attractive town of Morrisburg. Kids were having a great time on the town park. There was a big open green space across from the river.

This house had an interesting object in the front yard.  Maybe it's the home of a pilot.

While riding between Morrisburg and Mariatown, we spotted a bulk-carrier in the distance.  Kerry figured we could out-run it.

After 2-3 miles of the chase we were getting closer

Before the ship could get to the place on the river where our motel is, it had to go through a lock.  We saw it pass right by our room a little while after we checked in.

We have a wonderful view from our room. I didn't get a picture of the ship passing, but it went right by soon after we checked in.

Lise is going to carry our panniers again tomorrow while Jacques rides with to Gananoque.  We'll be riding on the beautiful Thousand Islands Parkway.
