Elmira
Shopping.
Elmira is a small tourist town north of the city of Waterloo.
Upon arrival during the early spring along highway 86,
one can notice maple tree forests announcing approach
of the spring by hundreds of little buckets collecting maple
sap. Its streets still carry signs of the early settlement
dating to 1840. Elmira is also the heart of the Mennonite
country. Thus no wonder the Mennonite buggies are frequently
seen rushing down the street and picturesque black figures
blend in lines of tourists in front of colonial store counters.
