They do drink, but I was the one who got the drunkest, by a long shot!

And for many years, we went to The Pinery, a Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. At least there, there were some very interesting hikes you could do. I'm a painter and it was a great place to photograph for future paintings. But because of the pandemic, we can't go to Canada. So the new location is a pretty boring park in Michigan.
