  There's no Doubt that Canada is one of the most Beautiful Countries in the world! From the Shores of Newfoundland to the Mountains in British Columbia, Canada has the most spectacular scenery on the planet. As far as Year Round Activities, Canada Has it ALL,  with our 4 seasons making it all possible. Not the same boring weather all year, We Change it up, keeping it interesting, making it the perfect place to visit...All Year Round! Fresh Air, Fresh Water, Friendly People, what more could anyone want. I know the answer, to Visit the Owen Sound Area and Georgian Bay and stay right here at Kelly's Inn, Centrally Located to Everything in Grey County. Great Food, Great Place to Stay, and Great Hosts...Now you've got it all :)

  A friend called last night to remind me that this is the last week we can see the giant terracotta Chinese warriors at the ROM. I'm passing along that warning, and she and I will see the show this week (and we won't get any snow!).

  Future Brand just released the initial version of its annual Country Brand Index. Canada snagged #1 thanks in part to the Winter Olympics.
  
  (BTW the rest of the top 10:
  2 Australia
  3 New Zealand
  4 USA
  5 Switzerland
  6 Japan
  7 France
  8 Finland
  9 United Kingdom
  10 Sweden
  
  Bottom three: Zimbabwe, Iran, Pakistan. I guess that means North Korea and Somalia can breathe a sigh of relief.)

  This weekend is the national health fair in Toronto. I went last year and had a delightful time. There was delicious vegetarian food, cooking lessons, I took a yoga class, bought some hand cream that is better than anything in the stores, and the free samples were fun! :} If you have not gone to this then you should!
