November 21, 2015 – Buffalo and The LRT
I have long admired Frank Lloyd Wright and am familiar with his work from books. Alun, my sixteen year old, is interested in architecture, so I suggested to him that we visit The Martin House in Buffalo. We left just after lunch and had an uneventful drive, with less than ten minutes spent at theContinue reading “November 21, 2015 – Buffalo and The LRT”
November 8, 2015 – University of Guelph and the My Kitty Cafe
Owen discovered the existence of Cat Cafes a couple years ago while browsing on the internet.
