The North Door

It's now a month and a half since we returned from a four-week stay in Taiwan. I miss the hot, humid weather there and the after-dark walks through the streets, still warm enough to walk around in shirt sleeves.

We've had nice weather here in Ontario, but only today (Sunday) has the temperatures and humidity reached anything near Taiwan weather conditions. And for the first time this summer we've turned on the central air conditioner. However, I would not want to experience what southern Taiwan is getting now. The high-speed trains can go no further than Taichung.

This conservation area is on the Thames River in Chatham, Ontario. Inside the park is a plaque, "The Thames River", erected in 2000 by the Kent Military Re-inactment Society and the Kent Historical Society, funded by the Millenium Project.



The Thames River also goes through the center of downtown Chatham where there are murals and other plaques, one for the Shawnee Chief Tecumseh.
