Although the trip did not quite work out the way originally planned (it was Sunday, so the real Mennonite market, open only on Saturday, was closed), we still had a wonderful time.
Did some shopping at the Sunday Market - obviously locals recognized the business potential in those tourists who cannot tell Saturday from Sunday. Then headed into St. Jacobs town where we spent a few fantastic hours walking the streets. Once we thought it was time to move on, we did not head back home directly but did a detour via Elora.
The Elora Gorge is truly beautiful. What is less beautiful is that if you just want to see the gorge without wanting to spend a day for picnic, you still have to pay $4 per adult to get into the provincial park :( Also, there was a huge multitude of people making the experience less then ideal for getting in touch with nature's miracle.
