Back From The Mother Land

No not Russia, but my homeland, Canada! Last week I got to go home and spent Canadian Thanksgiving with my Dad. First I was almost late for my flight, the Delta employee was nice enough to let me still check in and I ran to the gate. After a quick layover in Cincinnati I almost didn't get my flight to Buffalo because my flight was over booked. Luckily the lady at the desk was so nice and got me a ticket, seat A1, right by the cockpit, it was awesome. The whole trip was so much fun, just spending time with my family, seeing my aunts, uncles, cousins and new babies of cousins. The first couple days were spent hanging out with my dad around my aunts house, stopping by Tim Horton's a little too often. But on Wednesday we went to Toronto! It was so much fun. Walked up and down Queen W. street and looked at all the vintage shops. Then walked around Toronto and shopped at the Eaton Centre for a good while. Finally after a long day we drove down town a bit to meet my cousins and have some delicious dinner at The Keg. I had a wonderful Zesty Salmon - a grilled fillet basted with a sweat and mildly spicy sauce. Served with chili mayonnaise and rice pilaf and for dessert, apple crumble and crème brûlée. On Thursday we ventured to Niagara-On-The-Lake walking around all the little shops, grabbing hot chocolate at a cafe, and eating yummy pub style fish and chips at the Angel Inn. The next 2 days were spent with family and finally the long flight home. I also got a lot of fun souvenirs and such! I am missing Canada so much and hope to go back soon!
