Today's morning plan was to drive to Kincardine to catch today's early World Cup game between Netherlands and Brazil. We weren't able to see it at the cottage since there was no cable or even internet connection. Our only link to the real world was a basic internet connection from Heather's Kindle, enough to see basic text version of some websites.
Unfortunately, because of a late night, nobody got up until almost 11am. By that time the game was half over. Thanks to Remi, we had a great breakfast complete with eggs, sausages, potatoes and bread. In the early afternoon, we all went to the beach to catch some rays. The water was still muddy so me and Remi only dipped our toes in the water before retreating.

After an hour or so, we went back to the cottage to leave our beach things then walked over to Lighthouse Gifts for another round of ice cream. With ice cream in hand, we continued to the lighthouse and the adjacent museum. We inquired inside about tours of the lighthouse. As bad luck would have it, on June 30th, a rep from Parks Canada was here and deemed the lighthouse unsafe to tour because of falling rock. Another visit from the feds was scheduled later in the week where a decision would be made as to whether close the lighthouse for the duration of the season. The young girl working the counter was especially bummed since she was spending the summer working to pay school and this was her only income.
Back at the cottage, we spent the evening barbecuing more burgers and sausages and watching some DVDs, namely a movie about Zack and Miri. In between eating and watching the movie, we made another trip to the beach for some sunset photos. We turned almost two hours earlier than last night.
