Stratford Ontario (Brrrrrr!)

Stratford is a little town about and hour and a half west of Toronto. One of its main attractions is a huge Shakespeare festival that takes place every year, unfortunately it is not going on right now. It also happens to be the town where Charlotte's sister Kelly and her husband Eric just bought a house and are in the process of moving into.

Here is a picture of the house, it sits right next to a stone bridge that connects to downtown Strarford......

And here is the bridge as seen from downtown, and behind it through the trees you can see the house....

The view to the other side, downriver....

Last night had dinner at a small, but very popular pub called the Boar's Head. It was wing night so they had $0.50 wings, and good beer (suggested by Kelly). Today for lunch I went to York Street's Kitchen, a small but very colorful hole in the wall with really good sandwiches (also suggested by Kelly). There I learned that a "Loony" will buy you two hours of parking....(A Loony being a one dollar (canadian of course) coin).

Kelly and Eric also happen to be the owners of the Toaster Museum Foundation (if you want to learn the details about this go to: http://www.toaster.org/whence.html), so perhaps Stratford will be the new home of the Toaster museum in the near future.....

Cute town eh?
