Stanley Travels: “Pas De Deux” at Mr. Anderson’s House in Picton, Ontario

An original Stanley Bothered number, performed at Mr. Anderson’s House in Picton, Ontario.

Mrs. Bothered and myself spent a wonderful weekend in Prince Edward County, Ontario in the adorable little town of Picton. We stayed at an AirBNB called “Mr. Anderson’s” house. It was a lovely little house completely done up as if it were a set from a Wes Anderson movie.

Actually, each room is themed after a specific movie – and it will test your knowledge of Mr. Anderson’s movies trying to figure out which room is based on which film.

While in the Prince Edward area, we visited Vader’s Syrup Farm, and picked up some “Dark Vader” syrup. They seemed pretty unaware of the connection their name (which is the name of their family and has been the name of their farm since far before the galaxy long ago and far far away) had to the iconic movies – which made it even more charming.

We also happened to be in town for the Great Canadian Cheese Festival – so of course we had to check that out. I have never in my life eaten so much cheese in a single day. It was glorious!

From the many vintage shops, to amazing restaurants, to the great sand dunes on Lake Ontario, and the best sunset ever from Lake in the Mountain, we had a wonderful time in “The County” and look forward to returning soon.

Stanley Travels Rules:

  • Audio will be recorded on location. Background and ambient noise is part of the location.
  • Audio will be recorded in a single, live take.
  • The location will be one that Stanley traveled to for other reasons. He can’t travel to a location just for the sake of a Stanley Travels video.
  • There will be something interesting, nay quirky, about the location beyond the fact that it’s just some place Stanley traveled to.
  • The song selection need not correspond thematically with the location, though bonus points if it does.
  • Stanley’s traveling companion(s) will serve as the camera/audio operator(s). If Stanley has no traveling companion, then he will just have to figure something out.
