This past week we’ve been in Ontario – visiting family, learning new card games (euchre – excellent entertainment), taking trips into Toronto, sorting our stuff for the big road trip to come. We set off from our home-base here this Wednesday and we won’t be back till well into July so quite a lot of sorting and planning to do!
We have had quite a bit of contact with real home this week too – some happy, some really quite the opposite (can’t put details, family matter, please don’t comment or anything). Some people deal with this all the time of course and we knew things were bound to happen if we were away this long. Still, it’s weird to be so far away at times.
Below are some pictures from one of the Toronto trips – highlights were an exhibition about the work of director Tim Burton (couldn’t take any photos inside the exhibition sadly), a trip up the CN Tower for Mark and h (including a roll on the ‘342m off the ground’ glass floor for h, see above – I went to a ground-level pub with cousins instead) and a mad dash through the city for the train back to the burbs. Their trains leave on time, you know. We just made it.
Next stop Niagara Falls.

Love the top photo - looks like something out of Willy Wonka, good luck on the next leg, sounds like the most adventurous bits are yet to come....
EXCITING!!!
This was a fun Monday for me! {Hubby's home sick, a rare thing, and I'm trying to pretend it can't get me too!)
When Hubby suggested we visit there, I believe my stupid reply was, "It's water falling into a hole. Why?"
Oh man! Was I wrong! It's Mother Nature at her most powerful and amazing. "h" will love it!
Yes, I've never seen the Falls before and neither has h... much looking forward to it.
Adventures to come, Niamh, yes, indeed.

Brilliant photo!
The other ones won't come up for me at the moment as the computer is arsing about.
Niagra! Road Trip! I'm so excited and I'm not even there! Don't stop anywhere they're playing banjos...
Oooh. That's high! Did you go up?
Are you skim-reading (hell, I do it all the time...)? No I did not go up in a ridiculously high and fast glass elevator... I went to a pub... called the Elephant and Castle as it happens. It was HUGE (like 'Cheers' times six or seven) and full of (polite) officeworkers toasting the end of Friday. Fun all round.

p.s. In Ottawa our hotel room was on the 18th floor... that was plenty high enough for me!
