From Waupoos to Copenhagen
I arrived back in Copenhagen yesterday, after vacationing in the area where I grew up, Prince Edward County, Ontario Canada. I spent my childhood and some of my adult years in what most people would refer to as "the sticks," in an area known as "Waupoos." Waupoos is an Indian name that means rabbit. The nearest town is Picton with a whopping population of around 4,000. I can remember back in the day people used to laugh when I said I lived in Waupoos. Some people even referred to it as Walton's Mountain. Now I'm proud to say that I grew up in Waupoos and my parents still live there.
My dad will not be too impressed that I'm writing this as anymore publicity for the area will drive the already escalating property taxes up even higher. My parents couldn't give their property away twenty years ago but now people from far and wide want to live there. Waupoos is on the map and becoming known near and far as a wine region. Who would have thunk? If you happen to be in the area check out the Waupoos Winery. It's a lovely place and partially responsible for the recent influx of tourists and wannabe residents to the area.
