Carousel of the Nations

Todays Windsor Star headline read, "Record crowds at Carrousel despite weather".

Unfortunately, my husband and I weren't part of the crowd. We couldn't get in because we didn't have "a pass" to park. We asked security how we can go about obtaining a pass and were told he didn't know and his only instructions were to not allow anyone to enter without it. We turned our car around - drove around downtown for almost an hour looking for a parking space before we gave up and left, disappointed.

I can't wait to visit the villages, take in the culture and sample the cuisine (whatever vegetarian foods I find). I hope everyone takes this opportunity to do the same.

See you there!
