The Real "Bobo's In Paradise..."

Author David Brooks has written a book on Social Groups Called "Bobo's in Paradise"  The terminology refers to Bohemian Bourgeoisie, hence BoBo...and states that the Bobo's in our society are portrayed as Latte drinking yuppie snobs.  OK, so he wasn't so far off the mark... Contained in these pages you will find the real story of the Bobo's, and their own little paradise, also known as the area around Cape Croker Indian Park on the Bruce Peninsula of Ontario, Canada. A few years ago, the elder Bobo's Alan and Barbara purchased a run down dump of a place and transformed it into a real paradise on Hope Bay, just one bay north of the Cape Croker Indian Park where their offspring spent many a fun summer vacation. 

MAP OF THE BRUCE PENINSULA  The Bruce Peninsula is located about 4 hours north of Toronto, between the Georgian Bay and Lake Huron itself.

Contained herein is a collection of poems that are our family favorites.
