What's the difference between a B&B and hotel - Part V

In my opinion, sharing breakfast with other guests is a big difference between the two types of accommodation! You just never know who might be sitting next to you at the table; and what a small world it really is....40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast has been honoured to host a number of musicians playing in the Festival of the Sound and at the Stockey Centre. It is always fascinating to hear about the entertainment industry from the other side of the footlights! There is the opportunity to hear about life in other countries - we've had people from Australia, Italy, the UK, Poland, France, Mexico and Brazil; Canadians from all provinces, and people from the USA. And that's just to name a few!

Personally, the most interesting conversation took place between a couple from mid-west US and a gentleman from Russia. They had the opportunity to share observations about their countries, political views and clarify mis-understandings! It is truly amazing how "breaking bread" together can lead to a closer relationship. I've had guests from opposite corners of the world who end up having mutual acquaintances and/or experiences. And, when all is said and done, and the guests have departed, I realize I've been reminded about what a fantastic place Parry Sound is to live, and that I've been granted to opportunity to share a little bit of our wonderful Georgian Bay and the 30000 Islands with others!
