Road Trip #1

Heading out on the road to who knows where.
The Mister driving west.


We passed through Shakespeare, Ontario.
It's right next to Stratford, Ontario...the snotty, Yuppie, Shakespeare Festival town.
We saw no ethnics...I think that perhaps the only black person in Stratford was The Mister and Othello...but I think Othello only comes every couple of years, and even then only between May and September.


I suspect that when the urban types took over Stratford, the regular folk high tailed it over to Shakespeare. Where they wouldn't have to buy organic, jog, and could just have regular Tim Hortons coffee at $1 for a medium regular, instead of having to buy burnt tasting grandes or talls at inflated prices ...I'm making this shit up. I have no idea.
But Shakespeare appears to be: i-pod jogger-less, Starbuck-less, health food store-less, Bistro and Patisserie-less and hoity-toity restaurant-less.


In Shakespeare we visited The Pork Shoppe...

With all things pig...and a little lamb too.

In Shakespeare, the streets are named for Shakespearian characters.


On the way back, we stopped in Waterloo, Ontario at a lovely Nursery



We ran accross something called a "money tree" and laughed because it looked like Marijuana, and we wondered if that's how it got it's moniker.


We met Sequoia the Macaw who "Talks but is very shy" and has been living at the nursery since 1974. She was grooming herself the whole time we were standing in front of her, but every time I said her name, she would look up.
