Day 50. Dunnville, Ontario

Hi Everyone,

After all that happened yesterday and the weatherman predicting 70%
chance of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon, I decided to plan for
 an early afternoon arrival and selected Dunnville instead of Port  Colborne
(another 35 km).

I got to Dunnville and decided that the weatherman was wrong as there
were only a few nonthreatening clouds and then the radar showed no
storm clouds.

I could have pushed on to Port Colborne, but I needed an easy day
to rest as I have not had a good night's sleep recently.

Tomorrow I will be arriving in Niagara Falls to sight see and I may or
may not get to Niagara on the Lake until the next day.

Today I arrived in DelphI and saw flags of various nations on lamp posts.
 I stopped at the Canadaian Belgium Club and asked several women
in the parking lot.  They didn't know why the flags but two of the women
were from Flemish speaking Belgium.  Of course I had greeted them in
French!  Later on I found a plaque that explained the flags.  They represent
the countries that local residents had come from.  Of course they did not
have the Welsh flag that I was wearing.


The Statistics:  64.60 miles and 387 feet of climbing.
