We’ve arrived in Thunder Bay after a tiring day that offered many invitations to frustration. Turns out this is declared to be a “Cultural Capital of Canada.” That got us a bit excited when we read it at the airport in Soo Canada. When I asked the airport line guy upon arrival here, he just stared at me speechless. Finally he stammered, “Well, we have some nightclubs…”
Meanwhile, thought you might like to see the snap I caught of the Locks as we turned East after takeoff from Soo US for a quick tour before turning West again toward the Soo Canada airport.
0038 Sault Ste Marie Locks
The Canadian side is across the top, the surviving rapids are below the darker green island with a cloud shadow, just right of the bow of the ship in the nearest Lock is the observation area we climbed up in, the white square building in front of the middle of the ship is one of the cool museums we visited. In a while we’ll probably post more words and pix from the day.

It’s great to see these photos. Dave’s dad’s family lived in the Soo when they moved back to the US after several generations in Canada. It’s fun to read about your travels.
