hi all -
i have wanted to come to Stratford, Ontario for a while now - It's a pretty - no - very pretty town -
that is a festival centre for plays for the warm months -
it has a 'season' and then shuts down - for the cold months -
i have had a really nice time -
and I plan to return -
the avon river is a slow - 'puntable' river - with beautiful white swans - slowly swiming around in it -
along with wild ducks - and other geese like creatures -
so pretty and the water flows slowly - and the trees are blooming -
and it's warm -
ok!
greetings from Stratford,
love,
Mark

Mark if you're a coffee drinker I suggest Balzacs on the main street. All the actors go there and they have this big wood-fired coffee roaster right in the middle. It is sublime.

I don't know Mark, if you drank it the worst that would happen is you would be absinthe-minded for a while. :p
