A Day in Sioux Narrows, ON

We are in Sioux Narrows, Ontario, in a campground right on Lake of the Woods. Sioux Narrows is a charming little "town", actually just a few shops and many homes in the surrounding area. We went to their annual art fair yesterday. I bought several things. As I was talking to one of the artists, out of the blue I asked him and his wife if they knew Craig and Mariana, friends of ours from Minneapolis. Yes, best friends. Their island home is just west of where we are right now.  I got the phone number, called, Craig answered, and yes, we could get together with them. They picked us up in their boat at Government Dock in Sioux Narrows, and we had a beautiful boat ride to their island, this perfect little gem of an island among many other islands, some inhabited, some not. Their house is wonderful with views on all sides. They fixed us drinks on their patio, I brought some snacks, we had dinner in their screened sun room, and Craig ferried us back to Sioux Narrows. How's that for serendipity??
