Went to Paris, Ontario yesterday about a 2 hour drive from Toronto (lesser time if the 401 was not so slow). Had a nice time (would have been nicer if it had been less ot, if I had been more 'fit', so that I could have walked up and down the steep roads without feeling so tired)Had lunch by the Grand River in Cobblestone Public House's backyard patio.
above: photos of downtown street from different angles
Below a few homes built with cobblestones: pillars and foundation of cobblestones.
I missed a few houses which seemed to be built entirely of cobblestones
Below: a few random photos
Above: some flowers, which were so pretty...I dont know what it's name is...never seen it before
Below: Views of The grand river and Nith River, both flowing through Paris
above:the jutting white on the right is probably the patio of a restaurant overlooking the river
There are many of these flowerpots hanging on the bridges in Paris.
Above: view of a part of the downtown street
Above: a tree or plant, which has crept through this fence
Below a wall made of these rocks...looked like an art work
Below are a few decorated shop windows of Downtown Paris
Below: the backs of the downtown buildings...backing on to the Grand River
Despite the buildings backing on to the river, and despite the river running in the heart of the city, the waters appear clear and one can see the bottom of this shallow river. Why can't people in countries like India keep their water sources clean like this? (before you comment, I am from India)
