Canadian Fun

Canadian Butterfly Garden

I finally have a moment to write more about our trip to Canada, which was just spectacular.
We made our way leisurely through NY, stopping in places like Nana's hometown, Lewiston NY, which was really quaint and beautiful and we took lots of pictures of the house she grew up in which is just adorable. We made it over the border to Canada (even though Nana had no birth certificate) and quickly learned that we were glad not to be staying in Niagara Falls, it was crazy busy and completely full of tourists.
We followed the QEW to Niagara-on-the-lake and set up home base at our hotel. First stop for Kate? Tim Horton's of course, for one of their delicious club sandwiches. Next stop, closest place to order Poutine, the yummiest creation of boardwalk style fries covered in cheese curd (tastes better than it sounds) and then dripping with warm brown gravy, my mouth is watering thinking about it...
Each day we saw something new and different, the Butterfly Garden, the Botanical Gardens, the Flower Clock, the Falls at night, delicious wineries and small town restaurants. It was a great trip and I highly recommend Niagara-on-the-lake for anyone looking for a nice quiet place to stay close to Niagara Falls, but far from the tourists.

Hi Kerry,

Ah! Poutine and Tim Horton's coffeee! It's our national "feel good foods".

Love your pictures of Niagara on the lake and of the butterflies.

I was in that quaint little town maybe 20 years ago and I fell in love with it.

Hope to go again soon.
Marie

Who the hell would want to go to Canada? I would rather go to the border towns of Mexico.
