Mostly images from Niagara's long line of holiday lights.  We also wondered around the streets although it was too late to be very touristy.  It was fun just hanging out together with my fellow volunteers.

We spent two days in Toronto roaming around in the Kensington market and China town areas on the first day.  We had a cool veggie tamales that were cheap and yummy.  Margaux spent all of her christmas money at the ART museum with fun gifts for her family while I browsed. We also had Frites from Moos that are highly recommended.  Next up we spent the night at Emma's a couchsurfing host that I swear is the spitting image of Michelle Williams, cute blonde from Shutter Island fame. The next day hanging out with Florian and Carlos was fun as they had places they wanted to see also, like the CN Tower and the harbor views, which were great at sunset.  All and all an amazing two days.

Exploring a Small Ontario Town



A few weeks ago we decided to wander the town to see exactly what was going on.  Sadly a lot of the shops close early, we knew that, and there was minimal to behold but we had fun anyway, as you can see in the video.  We were entertained by squirrels and a man with a harmonica, but who is to say what is entertaining, right? No worries though the amazing St. Lawrence river was a sight to behold.  Enjoy!

Another fun day near Quebec, this time with a mutual friend of mine and Stephanie's, Natalie.  We met up hung out near ...hmmm not sure exactly but there was big ships and a great view of the St. Lawrence river.  Afterward we went shopping for groceries for brunch then headed to Natalie's for food and conversation for hours.  A fun day all around.  In the video I try to cover up the sounds from the radio with other music that was our driving soundtrack, I think it works out fairly well, Enjoy!

Bonjour from Quebec








This is a bit more not mentioned in the video. I arrived in Canada  on Thursday.  Besides for the confusion caused by my American money at Walmart things here have been going great.  My friend, picked me up at the Walmart in Magog and took me into her home.  I wanted to post what was going on but there is not a lot to share we have been like family getting along just fine.  Her daughter has allowed me to use her room which was very nice of her, I enjoy having a bit of my own space even if its borrowed.  The Halloween night out was fun at Stephanie's favorite bar and then off to McDonalds for after hours chatting. I am a bit fascinated by the similar culture here, but we are people after all.  I will update again soon.
