We traveled 38 miles today, crossing a good portion of beautiful Rice Lake and then proceeding up the Otonabee River which winds through many marsh areas and the Hiawatha Indian Preserve. The scenery changed dramatically very quickly from a wide open lake to a very narrow, winding river. Lifting up in only one lock today seemed like a breeze. As we approached Peterborough Marina we passed by the fountain (yes, fountain!) in the middle of Little Lake. It is lit at night, and we were looking forward to seeing the Festival of Lights Concert with fireworks on Saturday night. Alas, the Captain was greatly disappointed to find out that this small city had cancelled the fireworks due to a budget cut. We tried to lessen his loss by having a fun Cajun dinner at "Hot Belly Mama's".
