Google Earth measurements (straight line between locations)
Distance from Vancouver: 2880 km
Distance from Kingston: 660 km
Today was another restful day. We slept in, did laundry, looked around Station Mall, the "largest mall in Northern Ontario". It's about the size of Lansdowne in Richmond. We then drove out to Kinsmen Park to see a small but pretty waterfall at Crystal Creek. There were a lot of pretty friendly Canadian Geese there too. Sault Ste. Marie is a pretty small town, population 75,000. We find it really pretty by the waterfront, but nothing special for the rest of the town. There are some nice parks such as the Crystal Creek Waterfall outside of town though!
Sault Ste. Marie is very humid, today's temperature was only 23 or 24 degrees but the humidity was at least 80%! Sault Ste. Marie is also the hometown of Roberta Bondar, the first female Canadian astronaut. The town across the water is Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Confusing names!
Tomorrow we will do our last long drive of the trip. When we arrive in Mississauga, we would have driven about 2000 km in Ontario, which is about the same distance as Vancouver to the Manitoba border!
