  • Festival Season is back! And Ontario's sweetest festival is taking place this weekend. . If you are planning on attending @buttertartfestival in @townofmidland, here are a few tips to help you make the most of your day. . 1)    Plan your trip: Check the #buttertartFestival website for maps, events, information, parking, and updates. . 2)    Arrive Early: the festival is open from 9AM to 5 PM, with events and judging starting early. Also – many bakers sell out quickly.... avoid disappointment. . 3)    Wear comfortable shoes: You will be doing a fair bit of walking up and down the main streets of the festival, through the town of Midland, and the waterfront. . 4)    Dress for the weather: This is an outdoor festival – check the weather report for the day, and dress accordingly. It can get quite hot. . 5)    Stay Hydrated: Bring your own refillable water bottle to stay hydrated – there are water refilling stations located throughout the festival route as well. . 6)    Bring Sun Protection: Have sunscreen, sunglasses, & a hat to protect yourself from the Sun. . 7)    Bring reusable tote bags: you will likely be buying a lot of treats, have several reusable tote bags on hand to carry your sweet haul. . 8)    Cash is King: While most vendors offer card payment options, some may only take cash. Be prepared by having cash on hand. There are several ATMs / Banks in town where you can get cash as needed. . 9)    Wet Wipes – be prepared for the inevitable gooey & sticky mess that may occur from eating butter tarts on the go.   . And….. 10) Have Fun These suggestions will help you thoroughly enjoy Ontario’s Sweetest Festival. . #OBBTF2022 #ButterTartFestival #ButterTartQuest . Hey bakers....do you recognize your handiwork in these images? Comment below.
  • I'm a Judge! 👨‍⚖️ After a 2 year hiatus, Ontario's Best Butter Tart Festival is coming back.... And it will be bigger and better than ever. In 2019, I was one of the judges of the "Traditional tarts". This year, I will be participating in the judging for the Wild-Style tarts. 👨‍⚖️ I'm looking forward to trying some of these wild flavour combinations. 🧡 Ontario's Best Butter Tart Festival takes place Saturday, June 11th in Midland, Ontario. . . . Repost: The judging table is filling up nicely! Greg Bellefontaine is a travel blogger, avid adventurer, and connoisseur of butter tarts. He has taken his passion for the iconic Canadian treat and turned it into a quest to find the best butter tarts in Canada (and beyond). @Rogue_trippers He has travelled across much of Canada and the US, sampling butter tarts ranging from the classics to the wild style flavours. His #buttertartquest travels have taken him to many well-known bakeries, tiny off-the-beaten path bakeries, farm markets, and everything in between. #ButterTartQuest #Roguetrippers Learn more about the contest here: https://buttertartfestival.ca/ContestInfo #OBBTF2022 #ButterTartJudge Food Network Canada Downtown Midland The Heart of Georgian Bay Experience Simcoe County BruceGreySimcoe
  • To celebrate National Hamburger Day, we take a trip back to 2017 and our road trip through the South West USA. 🍔 Hatch, NM, is well known for its chile peppers but it also has a lot of hamburgers. 🍔 In the town centre is a vast collection of vintage restaurant icons/mascots lining the street, including burger joints like Bob's Big Boy, A&W, McDonald's, and others. Many of which are part of Sparky's restaurant, home of the World Famous Green Chile Cheeseburger. (We could resist including the KFC/ chile pepper bucket). . #happynationalhamburgerday #hamburgerday #Roadsideattractions #chilepepper
  • Success! After several attempts to find the Ghost Squirrels of Exeter with no luck.... Today we finally saw a couple of these elusive rodents. 🐿 We love that the town has fully embraced their unique furry friends. The white squirrel (which is not albino) has become the town Mascot. The town of Exeter and surrounding areas have incorporated the resident white squirrels in their logos, art, and street furniture. Some business owners have even named their businesses and products after the ghost squirrels. We couldn't not check out the @whitesquirrelbakery And try some of their amazing looking treats...had a great chat with the owner (?). Even found some White squirrel beer at @badapplebrewing 🐿 #ghostsquirrels #whitesquirrels #exeterontario #rediscoveron #offbeattravel
  • Now We are here....in Xanadu 📍 Xanadu mansion was originally built in 1930’s for American millionaire, Irene DuPont, of the DuPont chemical company. The 4 storey mansion was built along the San Bernadino bluffs in Varadero, where the family visited a few months of the year until 1957. 🇨🇺 Then…. The revolution occurred.  ⛳ The Mansion is now home to a restaurant and small hotel, and a well-known 18 hole golf club - the Varadero Golf Club.  🇨🇺 There are many stories just like this around Cuba - wealthy American builds a mansion in pre-revolution Cuba…. Then the revolution. This was just the only one we had the opportunity to visit.  It's a gorgeous building with spectacular views. . . #cubatravel #Roguetrippers #Travelandtourism
  • Day Trip to Havana (3/3) The Roadside attractions edition.  📍 Every trip requires stops at various roadside attractions, monuments, and statues. We love the art, the artistry, and the absurdity of it all.  I don't know what all of these statues represent (I can’t read Spanish 🙄) but there are plenty of interesting sculptures around Havana.  🇨🇺 1) El Statua de Jose Marti - in Central Park Havana 2) Cristo de la Habana - giant statue of Christ overlooking the city of Havana 3) Girl on a Rooster sculpture in Old Town Square Plaza Vieja  4) Ernest Hemingway in the El Floridita Bar La Cuna Del Daiquiri  5) Frederic Chopin polish composer in Plaza San Francisco 6) Monument of the street person - Jose Maria Lopez Liedin - famed for wandering the streets of Havana  7) Eusebio Leal Spangler the former historian of Havana  8) Cristobal Colon in the courtyard of the Spanish Colonial Palace 9) Leonardo Da vinci Vitruvian man 10)......... 🇨🇺 #HavanaCuba #cubatourism #Roguetrippers #roadsideattractions
  • Day Trip to Havana (2/3)  📍 Fans of different architectural styles will love wandering the streets of Havana. There are so many periods and styles of architecture throughout this beautiful and historic city - including Baroque, Neoclassicism. Military, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Civil achitecture. 🏨 For us, exploring and discovering the towns and cities we visit is very important. We love to take in all of that beauty, and history and experience the authenticity of a destination when we travel.  ⛪ Old Havana has one of the most impressive variety of historic architecture in all of the Americas.   🇨🇺 . 1) El Capitolio - National Capitol Building.  2) Gran Theatro de la Habana  3) Hotel Raquel - old town grand hotel 4) Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Habana 5) Edificio Bacardi - original Bacardi Rum Building 6) El Floridita Bar - the Ernest Hemingway Daiquiri Bar. 7) Hotel Nacional de Cuba (Lucky Luciano mob conference hotel) 8) Castillo de la Real Fuerza (military fortress) 9) Plaza Vieja - Old Town Square - with diverse architecture  10) Old Town Havana architecture . . #havanacuba #VisitHavana #travelinspiration #Roguetrippers
