Feeling this on a Monday

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH…

{Photo taken in Clifton Hill Niagara Falls, Ontario in 2008}

I’ve been neck deep in work, I almost want to say shite but this shite makes us money so it’s nice shite. Well I’ve just been a wee bit grumpy because, hmm, it feels nice for a few hours a day to be super productive but the adrenalin trickles down slowly as night creeps into early morning. Then it’s 6AM, oh no!

So at times like these, I either really want to spend all my money on a nice bag or I dream of travelling. The big urge to urgh, do something that would make me smile for ten days straight! I’m digging these out from my photo collection, I don’t have new material to share at the mo’. Photos from my visit to Toronto, Canada, back in 2008. Ben and I went to visit my brother who was working there then.

We took the Amtrak train from New York City’s Penn Station to Toronto, packed sandwiches for the 12-hour ride

This is New York’s side of Niagara Falls. The train ran through, Poughkeepsie, Buffalo… I stopped counting after a while.

We got in the city at night and the first thing we did after putting our bags down was to go get a tattoo. This is where I got my gnome done.

And this is Kayla, the first husky I’ve ever befriended and lived with.

It was Spring when we arrived so the plants were happy things, even this was beautiful and I took this outside my brother’s apartment, along the pavement.

Like nothing I’ve ever seen before; Kensington Market

My brother cooked dinner

We had Wendy’s!

I love beavers so I yelped at seeing this

And I yelped again when my brother drove into a drive-thru ATM (?) Never seen anything like that either.

We stopped by this quaint town on our way to Niagara Falls, I forgot what its called. I love this photo in particular because it just shows how touristy Ben & I are. Busy taking photos while the locals sit on a bench on top of a hill and feed on cakes and such.

My brother and I

The magnificent Niagara Falls, it’s so big and loud and unreal

After the Falls, we headed back to Mississauga and went to an all-you-can-eat-wings buffet with some of his friends!

We went to Canada’s Wonderland on our last day

Then we drove to one of his friend’s home in the outskirts of Toronto for dinner and his mom made pupusas, oh my, my taste buds died and went to heaven while eating it.

I’m sorry, this was long!
