The Hamlet of Belfountain
Belfountain, Ontario
October 22, 2017
Belfountain is a picturesque hamlet (small human settlement) on the Forks of the Credit Road. The road towards the place is scenic and fun to drive. We visited this place on a nice autumn day and we were surprised by the number of people in such a small place.
Despite the lack of space except by the narrow road. Harleys, fancy cars, baby strollers, people and pets are happy with the tiny space.
The charm of Belfountain is its smallness. If ever you get to pass by or visit the place - make sure to try from any of the 3 ice cream shops and/or coffee shops. There is a General store that sells sweets and coffee too aside from souvenirs and an Inn that serves meals.
Fooling around.

Just Driving Around
Cambridge, Paris, Stoney Creek, Niagara-on-the-Lake
October 21, 2017
Had to drop the son in Kitchener and pick him up a few hours later. So, what do 2 wanderers do? Drive around neighboring places of course!
On this trip we had really delicious Thai food at Banana Leaf Restaurant in Stoney Creek. No photo to post but something definitely worth going back for.

Aside from street art - I also enjoy noting store business signs with the style and fonts they use.
Inside Savon Du Bois where we had tea with zucchini walnut muffin.
Another view of the Main street.

Norwood, Perth and Smith Falls. Driver did not make any stop. It was a cloudy and grey day which was not helping at all to take fall colors photos.
Food Places We Tried :
Cha Tea upon arrival, after check-in.
Kochi Sushi in Brockville. All you can eat sushi, but not that great.
Baldachin Inn (take out steak) - the hubby swears it will be the standard of his steak now.
Coffee Bean - open on thanksgiving day. Coffee and muffin to while away the time.
Mainstreet Family Restaurant - breakfast on last day. Ordered Hungry Man and Western omelet.

To keep in mind next time - Thanksgiving weekend is not the best time to visit Ontario places. Most restaurants and attractions are closed (Brockville). Some shops in Merrickville however were open in the afternoon.

Art Installations : Four Seasons
I have long wanted to take photos of these art installations near the Fairview Mall and Don Mills subway station. So one humid, super warm yet rainy afternoon I scheduled this short adventure on my own.
Art Installations by Douglas Coupland. Title : Four Seasons
Trivia : Not only did I get lost (I was looking for murals under the bridge too), I ended up having dinner in IKEA on this rainy afternoon. FitBit steps on this day was 13,581. Not bad at all.

Then 2 condominium signs that were equally colorful.
Inspired by Crayola.

Massachusetts, USA - Shelburne Falls 2
Shelburne Falls was a small village and we did not spend a lot of time here but still I managed to enjoy the place and took photos of a lot of things I found interesting.
Like store signs.

Massachusetts, USA - Bridge of Flowers
Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts is known for "the bridge of flowers". What used to be a bridge to transfer trolley tracks in 1908 was transformed into a garden bridge in 1929 when the bridge no longer became useful. The idea is unique and this arc-type bridge is a worthwhile side trip when in Massachusetts.
