By the time we hit Charlottetown we'd pretty much eaten our way across Prince Edward Island so you'd think we would pass on Ice Cream for lunch......not a chance! Premium ice cream and puns on T-shirts proved to be an irresistible combination.

Friends of ours have been urging us to visit Lake Memphremagog, a 90 minute drive from Montreal in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. They claim the local summer artist studio tour is a one-of-a-kind, can't-be-missed event that more than lives up to our criteria.

Spend even a short time on the main street of Hudson, Quebec on a weekend and you're sure to have someone pull up in a car and ask you for directions to Finnegan's. Since the mid 80's Finnegan's Country Market has drawn a steady stream of weekend visitors. If its Saturday (between May and October) point them west and wish them a good day.

Four lane highways like the 401 that runs from Windsor to the Quebec border are great - if your only objective in getting from where you are to where you want be in the shortest possible time. But if getting there is really half the fun you need to ditch the 4 lane habit. The interesting places require a bit of meandering. A case in point is Balleycanoe.

We've been hearing stories about something called a Perch Roll, apparently a local fast food delicacy in the town of Lancaster, Ontario. All anyone needs to do is tell us about a dish indigenous to a region and (pardon the pun) our appetite for discovery is fully whetted. Is there still such a thing as a Lancaster Perch Roll? Does it deserve its reputation?
