A Haven Near the City
by MissAntarctica2002
Guelph is a charming city. Its culture is an interesting contrast between the agrarian interests of the University of Guelph, and the bohemian attitudes of the many artists, writers and performers that call the city home.
My sister lives there, which gives me an excuse to pop by a few times a year.
