SueC World: Day 2 -- Shopping, tasting, etc.

We were awake by 7am this morning and met the b&b owners, Ed and Irene. Breakfast was delicious, and we met two other couples, one from Ottawa and one who had lived in King of Prussia and currently Michigan.

After breakfast, we took a leisurely drive toward St. Catharine and then through town. Snagging a free parking spot, we shopped the town, one of my favorite things to do! As we walked around, the sky got brighter and brighter -- it's now a sunny but cold day.

Lunch was at the bar area at the Pillar and Post -- http://www.vintage-hotels.com/pillarandpost/default.htm

Good Canadian beer, eh? -- Sleeman honey brown ale and Oast bitter

Lobby of Pillar and Post - Bob with the only kind of dog he likes!

Twin beds last night - king today!

After lunch, we did some wine tasting. The first winery we visited was Between the Lines, owned and operated by a German family. We had a lovely conversation with the mother of the co-owners, who came from a place near Aalen, Germany, the home of one of North Penn's sister schools. Delicious tasting! -- http://www.betweenthelineswinery.com/

The second winery we visited was Ravine, noted for its restaurant and organic wines. We had another interesting conversation with our server about the history of the place. More good wines were tasted and purchased. -- http://ravinevineyard.com/

The parlor in Abacot Hall

Dinner was at Stone Road Grill, probably my best find of all time -- and it's literally a block from our b&b! -- http://www.stoneroadgrille.com/
