There is a serenity in walking in the woods that helps you find your centre.
There is companionship, when you help each other across the wet places, point out the beautiful things, laugh together, listen together.
There is a perspective, found only in Nature. There is a connection, that is eternal.
If you hike up to the Lookout at Bondi, you have the opportunity to experience all those things, and many many more. On a clear day, from the Lookout, you can see all the way to the Dorset Fire Tower.
Melissa has been vacationing at Bondi for most of her life, until University and Life pulled her temporarily away. Her parents are currently operating the Fairy Bay Guest House, so she still gets some time up here in Muskoka.
Yesterday, she and her friend Albert stopped by -- to pick up some eggs for her Mom, and to hike to the Lookout.
Where Albert proposed, and Melissa said 'Yes."Yesterday, you could see way past the Dorset Fire Tower from up there. Melissa and Albert could see into the Future.
Congratulations. There are always mountains to climb in any relationship -- but we hope the memory of the Bondi Lookout will stand to remind you that -- no matter how tough the climb, the view from the top makes it all worthwhile.
We wish you both the most wonderful things as you embark on this great adventure together.
Mrtah and I have been visiting Bondi since the early 1970's. Our babies and those of our dearest friends were introduced to winter and summers through the eyes of the Tapley's and Bondi. The Bondi Lookout will alaways be a very special place and we are so happy that our "niece" chose the Look Out to say "I do". May they have years of happyy memoties ahead of them. Love Uncle Ricky and Aunt Martha
