My cousin Roxi & I had a wonderful visit with our Metis cousins from across the border. The weather was beautiful at Alexandria Bay just a perfect day. We enjoyed watching the boats pass by & dock at the Riverview. The view was awesome & brought back memories of our Metis ancestor route trip to Canada last year While there we took a
Thousand Island boat tour circling around the Boldt Castle which we could now view across the river. This was so relaxing after a very energy laden few days preparing for the wedding of Shannon & Ryan, Roxi’s son. I had the honor of giving the Native prayer & blessing as part of the wedding ceremony.
I will post pictures soon
