Wednesday - August 30 – Today we did some laundry then drove into Peterborough and visited the Canoe Museum which was very interesting - lots of canoes. They also had an old Hudson Bay Store in there with some of the items they would have sold back in the 1800’s. Al in all it was worth the visit. We had a late lunch (early dinner) at Swiss Chalet then went out to the 4th Line Theatre at Millbrook.
The play was called The Art of Silent Killing and was about a couple who had been at Camp X during the Second World War. Camp X was located in Oshawa and was a very secretive place, people who went there were sworn to secrecy and they trained people to be spies in Germany during the war (Ian Fleming the creator of James Bond had something to do with Camp X). It turns out that Tim’s (our son-in-law) grandfather worked at Camp X, Tim’s mother says as a janitor, but who knows for sure. Anyways, the play was very enjoyable and in a very unique setting. It is on a farm on the 4th line and they have bleachers set up and it is all pretty well outside. We got to sit on plastic chairs as we had the VIP seats and if it rains the show is cancelled, so thankfully it was a beautiful evening. It is amazing what there is out there we don’t know about! We got home about 9 so it wasn’t a late evening (the play started at 6).
