Northern Ontario

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of travelling to northern Ontario with Ms. Fourayem, and meeting up with her family. Definitely one of the best weekends I've had all summer, and there have been quite a few great weekends! This entry will focus on on just a few rural architectural highlights.....


This is the amazing view from the cabin/camp/cottage where we stayed. Logan is the most spoiled dog in the world, but he's awesome and he's bigger than you! On th e left is the only finished building on the property, a beautiful sauna where we spent quite a bit of time. I'm definitely sold on saunas. Get hot and sweaty, then jump in the lake (watch out for leeches!) and then get right back in the sauna. Repeat!




This is the outhouse building. No running water (or electricity) around here! Watch out for mosquitos.



This is supposedly a former train station, but now it's a restaurant. It's a little overdone with the inauthentic log interior, but they do have coffee.



We went for a drive to get ice cream one day, and found ourselves here. A picture says a thousand words. Great ice cream, too.



This is a building located at a place called Northern Light Lake, if I recall correctly. A small but prosperous little resort area near the US border. I like this little building because it's a shiny metal shed.



This is a little bridge we crossed when we got a little lost in the car on some back roads.



And finally, this is a little houseboat we saw in Kenora. I'd never been to Kenora but it seemed like a pretty cool place. Maybe some day I'll live on a houseboat. This one IS for sale.....
