Holiday Inn Peterborough-Waterfront, On

... place, but I can't. It starts with an F and it's on Dundas St. W. There are dead and barbecued chickens hanging in the front window, you can't miss it. Hahaha. The chicken was flavoured weirdly, the "vegetable and shrimp" dish was carrots, celery, shrimp, cashews...that's it... the pork fried rice...that was most of what I ate. They also don't have a debit card machine, so we literally ...

Left aligned photo tag: Starting to Plan our trip! So Exciting. We will be travelling to Amora on the 2nd of March via London [where we hear we will have a hectic transfer with lots of time on our hands arriving at 9 AM London time and leaving at 3:30 to arrive on the 3rd of March in Lisbon] Whew! I'm already tired. Good thing we have several days to rest up before our roadtrip to France!

To travel well, the road warrior needs to be in good, good, shape. So, my journey begins Sunday morning in Peterborough. Up early and leave my house for the gym. But first, a stop at Tim's for a little java jolt ... after all, it ...

We were supposed to leave early Sunday morning, but there were some last minute repairs on my truck that needed to be taken care of. Everything is all fixed now and in perfect working order, so that means we will be on the road first thing Wednesday morning. Better late than never.

... a number of things to do there, we chose to tour the Biodome. We couldn't have timed it better. From where we entered the building, we walked along a dividing tape for a few hundred meters. Seemed kind of strange and unnecessary. After waiting what felt like a long time in line (but was really only about 15 minutes), we had our tickets and were off. As we left the Biodome, we discovered what the dividing tape ...

After a delicious breakfast of giant pancakes and homemade raspberry jam, we went out to see the garden. Uncle Jim told us the story of how he accidentally killed all the strawberry plants by spraying them with RoundUp by mistake. The boys learned how to pick potato bugs off the potato plants with Uncle Jim. Joey enjoyed stomping ...

In brief: Not in school this year. The department can ***********. I'm looking for interesting things to do. I'm happy enough in Peterborough, but would quickly relocate for an interesting opportunity. The cats and I will be getting new roommates when I arrive back in a week. We'll have two adorable scrunchy nosed rats moving in with us. Yay for adorable rat noises. That is, assuming that I can get to and from Mississippi ok with all the wacky weather ...

... highest glass floor in the world at 342mtrs, and is strong enough to hold 14 hippos. The tower itself has numerous world records such as the highest successful egg drop, speed of elevators: 6 metres/second (20 feet/second), highest wine cellar in the world, records for most steps climbed in a day 1760 one way, most steps on a pogo stick Before we leave the CN Tower we treat ourselves to a 3 course meal in the 360 revolving ...

... where I gave up for the day. I talked myself into another Super 8 room just to avoid the inevitable watery mess my tent would become. My car was fairly clean despite US Customs attempts and I wanted to stay that way until the end. Fort Frances stinks. The town and its American neighbour International Falls, Minnesota each have a pulp and paper mill. These mills are located right downtown so you cannot escape the foul air belched out of their chimneys. Luckily the wind was ...

Today we did a lot. Went to Peterborough, shopped at the mall and downtown, and ate at Olde Beer something or other. It was really gross. On our way there I saw the sign for the Molson Canadian Blind Date! I wanted to sit outside and see if I could hear who the mystery band is. So mom promised she would go with me. We didn't get to hear any of it but on the way back, I guess it ...
