The donuts - and I truly mean no offense by this because we had wonderful food everywhere else we went on that trip - were so bad as to be inedible. Seriously, I'm not sure I've ever thrown away a donut before. Maybe it was a freak occurrence, I don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-52964295690081537932008-11-17T07:51:00.000-05:002008-11-17T07:51:00.000-05:00Violetsky: Yes, and nice beer too...;-)Violetsky: Yes, and nice beer too...;-)Guillaumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376749604845793465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-43029356014683553292008-11-17T06:51:00.000-05:002008-11-17T06:51:00.000-05:00Ruth: you should visit us more often ;)Jo: they do...Ruth: you should visit us more often ;)<BR/><BR/>Jo: they don't have Cheezies in the States???

I am not a big fan of coffee or Tim Hortons (not since they don't make fresh donuts anymore anyway), but my wife loves their coffee, so there you go.
