Small Town Life in Ontario

Yes folks, to buy beer in Ontario, you go to The Beer Store

All other alcohol is sold at the LCBO-Liquor Control Board of Ontario

Canadians are very green.

Besides making good use of the wind, the water and the sun

they package without plastic.

at the Thornbury Annual Lobster Fest. Yummy:)

For the last Week, I have been living my small town dream... the one where I live in a town so small, you can walk most places. So it has been early morning long walks, reading and napping outside in the gazebo, and lovely dinners , mostly prepared by Rosemary, who is a wonderful cook. On Glenn's 70th birthday we went to the Dam Pub, by the dam, and celebrated with authentic English pub food.

I was lucky to be in Thornbury for their annual Lobster Fest and was treated to a magnificent feast of not one, but two lobsters that we washed down with a good white wine. About 1500 hundred people show up for the town's annual fundraiser at the local arena/community center, and the party starts at 5pm and goes to the wee small hours of the morning. The next morning, many cars were still in the parking lot, one PT Cruiser was there for two whole days until someone picked it up at the end of the day. They obviously had a good time.

I was not able to get on the Internet much as the cable kept going out, so I just kicked back and rested up for the big trip home. Still undecided on my route.
