thanks!

I wish I had had more time in Port Hope. There were some amazing vantage points going up some of those hills looking back into town. The residential streets are very nice as well. Oh well... next time.

Did you not venture to the waterfront? Sorry, had to get one dig in there...I am from Cobourg afterall, Port Hope's nemesis.

Port Hope is definitely high on the quaint factor. Cobourg and Port Hope compliment each other pretty well I would say. I wouldn't be surprised to see them amalgamated in some fashion as they slowly encroach on each other.

Nice shots. I haven't been around to that side of Lake Ontario in a long time.

Didn't you notice on the plane when you started talking, eventually I started reading the vomit bag?

LOL! That would sound very funny to someone from the UK, as "fanny" over there refers to a part of a woman's anatomy, but not the bum!!

I love Port Hope... Could see myself living there, if I had a job there, of course. It's a lovely place.
