We beetled our way down some nice country roads to Guelph to spend the night with friends Jim and Ester. Along the way, we had pit stops in Fergus and Elora, two very cute towns. We very much enjoyed the quaintness of this area.
Guelph was home to Meghan's Mum and Dad for their time at university, so we wandered around the veterinary buildings on campus, trying to imagine what adventures they had! We had a great night playing Quarkle with Jim and Ester, and enjoyed seeing their newly purchased house--it's beautiful you guys! Part of our Guelph adventure, was Meghan learning how to "bomb start" Derby...see "About Derby" for an update on his latest and greatest :-)
We took in A Winter's Tale at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Fantastic, and perhaps some of the best acting and costumes we've seen!
Hopped back to Waterloo and were lucky enough to steal Meghan's cousin, Jessi, for dinner at a cute little pub outside the city. Hmmmm...pig tails anyone? (yes, it's true..this is the Waterloo County speciality it seems).
St. Jacob's Market was lots of fun, with tonnes of beautiful produce from the local farms and maybe other local goods (as well as some not very local). We also took in an exhibit about the Mennonites living in the area which was very interesting and where we could have definitely have spent more time.
Our night ended in Peterborough with a great visit with more Karner family...Jane, Ian, Evan and Kate were all doing fantastic. It was lovely to see you guys, and thanks for the hospitality! See you in the spring!
