My birthday present from Nancy this year was a day-long bus trip to a casino in Canada, just across the St. Clair River from Port Huron. Nancy, Richie, and I met up with the bus early Tuesday morning at the Finnish Center. We were definitely the youngsters on board the coach, surrounded by a crowd of old Finns. We picked up another group of gamblers enroute to Canada, most of them elderly women who apparently felt that wearing massive amounts of perfume would make them appealing or attractive or something. Or maybe they had just become hard-of-smelling in their old age.
The casino was great. It was just the right size - not so big that you got lost, yet not small, either. The place had a nice variety of slots and was pleasantly uncrowded. We all played a long time with the comp money given to us by the casino. We ate lunch at a lovely restaurant overlooking the river. At the end of the day, Nancy and Richie actually won some cash and I was happy to break even.
On our bus ride home we ran into rush hour traffic and rain. Fortunately, the previously overly fragrant ladies had lost most of their scent during the day. We arrived back at the Finnish Center around 6 p.m. and headed home. We all had a fun time and look forward to another casino bus trip in the future.
