Day Tripping!

One of the things I love doing - that I am restricted because of Covid-19 - is driving out to small towns and exploring their worlds for the day. I live in a part of the country where in 30 - 45 minutes, I can drive to wonderful little places like Stratford, Paris, Elora or Fergus. All of them have small town appeal, with lovely shops and great trails to walk and areas to explore. They also have great rivers running through them.

I take my writing gear and my hiking shoes and head out... usually following my nose in search of adventure. I find a great coffee shop - a local spot, and enjoy watching the people. Tourism brings an influx of visitors so I am not the only one enjoying the sites and each place has its own identity.

Stratford is the biggest of these small towns and also has the Stratford Festival. Because of that, they have an interesting variety of shops catering to a diverse mix of people.
