The Soo



We spent a lovely sunny day in Sault Saint Marie walking the boardwalk and visiting the locks. It was a day just to stroll and then to do some shopping and relaxing. This city is on both sides of the Canadian and American border with the river between the two solitudes. The Seaway locks are on the American side and this older canal is part of the Canadian park system and is used for recreational boating. I am struck by how artificial borders really are - an arbitary line down the centre of a short river.
