Michael and I returned to Kapuskasing for one more evening with his brother Joel and sister-in-law Dana, but Dana was visiting with her mom and brother in Calgary, Alberta.

We enjoyed an evening that started with playing snooker!

I had a craving for butter tarts, so I decided to bike into town!  Michael joined me and our evening unfolded into a wonderful journey back into his childhood in Kapuskasing!

The circle -this is the hub of the town!

The butter tarts! This butter tart had more innards and less crust – but not very flavorable!!!

Joel and Dana have two adorable standard poodles, Jaxon and Sonny!

The next morning I made my first Walmart run of the summer!!

Then it was time to say goodbye as we started our journey to British Columbia!
