On the map, you will find my own personal descriptions of each location, along with the address, phone numbers, business hours, etc., but I have also included the descriptions here for convenience. 

CENTENNIAL BEACH 
Centennial Beach in downtown Barrie is one of my most favourite spots. It is a lively location with lots to see, certainly a great spot if you're looking for some writing inspiration. People watching is the best there. 

WILLIAM'S FRESH CAFÉ
William's Café in Barrie's South end is such a cozy spot and is sure to cure any writer's block you may be experiencing. A great place to sit back and enjoy a delicious latte or baked good while you write (and they have wifi!). It's perfect if you're looking for a location with minimal distractions but not dead silence. 

BARRIE PAINSWICK LIBRARY 
Although libraries are a classic writing spot, this one happens to be my favourite. With tons of resources, this bright and airy building is perfect to satisfy all writers' needs. 

STARBUCKS - MAPLEVIEW
Although Starbucks is also a typical location, I had to include this branch specifically. It is a beautifully redesigned shop that is conveniently located in the heart of Barrie. Sit back and enjoy a Frappuccino in their beautiful dining area. This location also has lots of outlets if you're working from a computer. 

MINET'S POINT PARK
I absolutely love this spot! It's generally very quiet, which is awesome if you're looking for minimal distractions. Guaranteed to be relaxed and "in the zone" while you sit near the water listening to the waves crash.

FRIDAY HARBOUR RESORT
I can't say enough about this spot! There are SO many places you can go in just this one location. Starbucks, waterfront tables, restaurants, beaches, boating docks, and so much more. Guaranteed to have a location for every writer!

The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site

Hello friends! For anyone who read my last blog post , I am back from my adventure in Nova Scotia! I just got back on Saturday (August 6th), but I'm already reminiscing about all of the fun things that we did. We had a great time visiting family, but we also made some amazing memories exploring our own beautiful country. Gosh, there is so much to see.  One of the highlights from our Eastern trip, aside from seeing the Cabot Trail and doing the Skyline Trail, of course, was visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site . I'm not sure which excursion I liked more, to be honest! They both had their perks. What an absolutely breathtaking experience back to the 1700s, though. One of the lines directly from Parks Canada that got me the most when I was researching the Fortress of Louisbourg before going was, "it's so real, it seems surreal". Boy did that ever prove to be true. I didn't feel like I was living in 2022 that's for sure (other than how ho
