On to Point Pelee - No Room at the Inn

 It was Saturday of the Victoria Day weekend, and there were no camping sites available at any of the provincial parks.  After our successful day of birding we headed off to Leamington, Ontario, following the shoreline of Lake Erie.  At one point the road had eroded into the lake and we detoured past a very large greenhouse operation.

We stopped off at Wheatley Provincial Park to see if they had any cancellations -- they did not--so we headed to the town of Leamington where we had two options:  Walmart or the parking lot of the city marina.

We stopped to check out a laundromat. It was out of business but look what we found in the parking lot!

Doesn't get any cuter than this!

We parked at the marina and walked along the shore.

Here we saw the usual city birds and this alder flycatcher in bush beside the sidewalk.

We were fine camping in the marina parking lot.  There was another van parked near us, but that was it.  We never did see any homeless people or people living in their cars in the Lake Erie area.

After dark there was a lengthy firework display for Victoria Day, the parking lot emptied out soon after.
