I traveled with Marjorie and we saw two plays; Guys and Dolls on Wednesday and and Bakkhai on Thursday. After Guys and Dolls I was so overcome with emotion that I literally cried.
We left the theater Wednesday and headed off to Kingston to meet Ingrid who would be our guide into the Mennonite countryside. We stopped at a farmers back door and I bought raw honey for my honey. Marjorie bought plums and Ingrid, eggs, plums and potatoes. The lady selling had lots of other homemade crafts for sale but I wanted to be careful to leave room in my luggage for tatting. Many of the farms do not have electricity and some use buggies and horses to get around. A few of the churches had hitching posts and outhouses.
We went to St. Jacobs for Dinner and Ingrid finished up the tour with a visit to the universities surrounding Kitchner/Waterloo area.
The next morning we traveled north to see St. Jacobs Farmers Market but we only stopped at the Antiques Store. I found an edging book with crochet and tatting and a small hanky and a crystal which will have tatted wings added to it so it becomes an angel.
Back to Stratford to See Bakkhai a play based on greek mythology and a tragedy. This play was shorter so we had an evening free to snoop around the Mennonite countryside by ourselves. We found a fantastic general store in Wallenstein. I highly recommend a stop in to see the hats and boots in the back. I found another little hanky (they call them honky's) and then on to Elmira then back to the hotel.
Friday morning we had to return our rental car and had a pleasant walk back to the hotel. The beauty about this conference is that there are stores and a variety of restaurants all withing walking distance from the hotel.
