Tour Ontario, Canada with me and Visit the
Stratford Shakespearean Festival too...or book trips anywhere in the
world
Ontario, Canada is a very diverse area. It goes from temperate at
the south and very cold in the north. There are many small lakes and it is
surrounded by The Great Lakes. Come with me as we explore.
Southwesten Ontario, Canada is where I have lived most of my life. It
is a small area between Lakes Huron and Erie, actually more southerly than
many U.S. States, and heavily populated in some areas. The farm land is
very diverse, however, from grapes to tobacco, from corn to vegetables,
from dairy areas to all other kinds of livestock..along Lake Erie it is
known as The Carolinian Forrest..many of the animals, trees, and flowers
are found only in this part of Canada.
Inspiration: "I can complain because rose bushes have thorns OR rejoice
because thorn bushes have roses"............
Port Burwell, on Lake Erie was my second home for many years. It is a
small Town in Winter, but grows in Summer with many campers and cottagers.
Canada's Oldest Wooden Lighthouse is located here. If you watched the
series Friday The Thirteen you may have seen it (of course the town was
supposed to be in U.S). Visitors may climb to the top if they so desire or
visit The Marine Museum across the road. There are several campgrounds and
Provincial Park with a vast sandy beach and fully treed campsites. Dine on
local fish at restaurants overlooking the Harbour..YOU can visit many Lake
Erie and Lake Huron Lighthouses at my Lighthouse News link below.....
News Bulletin: Lake Erie Fishermen are reporting that many fish
varieties that have not been seen for years are being caught now...
Port Rowan, is where I have recently moved. It is twenty miles east
and goes out into Lake Erie at Long Point.
St. Mary's is a nice little Town I lived in for fifteen years. It is
called "The Stonetown" since most of the older buildings are made of stone
from two large quarries. One is now a fabulous swimming place. You must
know how to swim to go here, because it is so deep, but floating is no
problem. The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame is erected here now......
Kitchener was my birthplace. The annual "Oktoberfest" is a great party
event, the second largest in the world. There are many German Clubs
because of the early settlement here. It is actually a twin City with
Waterloo, which is noted for its Universities. A large but beautiful City
area.....
Stratford is "The Festival City" noted for the world famous
Stratford Shakespearean Festival. I grew up here and it is a lovely place to visit ...
"Canadiana" Info:
I will attempt to give you a few items of interest about Canadians.
....It has become a common joke that we all say Eh? Actually I had
never heard this expression until it became a joke on Saturday Night Live.
....Most of us do not speak French. I do not myself, although it would
be nice.
....I lived in Florida for six years and many people would
say that I said aboot and oot instead of about and out. I really couldn't
hear any difference.
....We spell some of our words differently,
such as: colour, centre, catalogue, favourite, cheque, aluminium, harbour,
etc. so I have to be careful or sometime my links won't work..lol.
....A chesterfield is a sofa not a cigarette.
....We say a can of
pop instead of a can of soda.
....We go on holidays not always called
vacations. Most of our holiday weekends are held on the Monday except July
1st which is Canada's birthday and is held on the exact date.
