TORONTO

Hey.

First of all, happy easter to everyone...yay for candy and eating a lot.

These past few days have been exciting, cold, depressing, upsetting, thrilling and adventurous.
Why is that?
I went to Toronto for NHS...that's why.

We left Wednesday at about noon from school, loaded onto the bus and headed out.

That night we went to Niagra Falls, with it all lit up with pretty lights and such. It was cool. Literally. It was very cold, snowing actually. Blah.

The next morning we went to the Toronto zoo...in the snow and cold. And we walked 50 trillion miles just to see the moose and grizzly bears..and Karen. And it was cold. And we saw some seals and some hyenas that we think were hybernating. And it was cold. And a giraffe that was hiding. Becuz it was cold.

We then ventured to Chinatown, and ate at a cute Chinese place with cute ppl and cute teacups. And we walked around. Looking at the street vendors and things. But we walked fast. Becuz it was cold.

That night we went to a Murder Mystery Dinner thing. And that was FUN!! Oh my wow...so much fun. And amazing food. I wasn't cold the entire time.

Friday we went to visit the skydome/Rodger centre. And it was big. But the lady woudn't let us walk on the turf and it was disappointing.

Then we walked over to the CN Tower. That was big. And there was this part where the floor was glass. And it was cool.

And then we walked around near the University. And it was VERY COLD. And we went to the underground city. Which was closed almost entirely becuz it was Good Friday. We walked to Joe Badali's to eat..and rushed inside. Becuz we were hungry and cold.

And we went to the Lacrosse game which was amazing. They play music the entire time while they're playing. And I didn't know they did that. But I liked it. And I wore my coat, becuz I was cold.

That night we threw a big dance party in our hotel room. A broken lampshade and spilled milk will always remind me of jumping on it...haha. We were really hot, so we opened the window, and a cold breeze kept us cool.

Next morning we visited Casa Loma. Me and Kala walked 20 thousand stairs to the top. it was fun. Then we went through a tunnel with Molly and Jonathon. And we didn't have our coats, so we were cold.

Then we went to Greektown. It was snowing. Me, Brandon, and Adam went to eat Greek food and talk to the nice Greek man about lamb souvlaki, calamari, peta bread, and some lady's inability to parallel park. And we were in there for an hour and a half. Then we went to Baskin Robins and got ice cream. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But as i said it was snowing. And we walked back to the bus. With ice cream. It was damn cold.

Our bus driver (Larry) was crazy. We got lost every single time we went somewhere. But he made some kick-ass turns. So I guess he gets points.

On trips like these you learn things. You hang out with new people, form friendships, while others prctically fall apart. Drama is always there, no matter how hard you try to leave it behind. Smiles are inevitable, and by the end of the trip, irrelevent of where you go, everyone is ready to go home.

Biggest thing I learned? It sure can get damn cold in Canada. Hah.
