Link Street Sausage House, Paris, ON

Link Street Sausage House is in the Wincey Mills Co. market building in Paris, ON, and Gord and I stopped in this morning.

Thanks, Tony!

They had so many fun and interesting meats to choose from.

I bought 5 pork schnitzels and 3 sausages (butter chicken, mango curry and apple bacon). They sound/look delish.

Arlington Hotel, Paris, ON

Gord and I spent Wednesday to today in Paris, ON, and we stayed at the Arlington Hotel downtown.

When we checked in, I mentioned to Samantha that it was my birthday/our anniversary and she sent a bottle of bubby to our room. How nice is that?!

There are 24 themed rooms and we were Stan Lee room ... all things Stan Lee! The room was a good size as was the bathroom.  There was a coffee maker but alas, no mini fridge (I always travel with water). It would have been nice to have "normal" TV channels ... instead they were themed like the That Girl channel, Beverly Hillbillies channel, Biggest Loser channel, etc. Parking, WIFI and a continental breakfast were complementary.

The Cobblestone Public House, Paris, ON

Gord and I had a late lunch this afternoon at the Cobblestone Public House in Paris, ON.

Thanks, Kelly!
