Mont Tremblant - We snowboarded in east Canada's most famous mountain. It was snowing on Christmas day which made the day even more amazing. I however managed to fracture my ribs and till this day, it still hurts.
Quebec City - Another visit to this beautiful and unique city; it was freezing, about -17. That's enough to make anyone hate Canada. Whatever parts of your body that is not covered would freeze and fall off.
Montreal - Although I did live here, there was no way I was going to let them come to Toronto without visiting the most European city in Canada. Eileen kept egging me on to speak French but I kept refusing. So one morning, I decided to speak entirely in French, I walked into a cafe, greeted the waitress and asked for a table for 3. We sat down and she asked if we would like something to drink and gave us the menus, I order drinks and away she went. Eileen turns to me and says "you shouldn’t have spoken French because she gave us French menus". I then embarrassingly asked for English menus. So yeah, speaking French does not always pan out the way you want.
Toronto -We did a lot of tourist activities here; visited the 2nd highest commercial tower in the world, hockey hall of fame museum, the famous St Lawrence markets, celebrated New Years by city hall with about 30,000 people in the freezing cold.
Niagara Falls- Here we actually went behind the falls to see the millions of gallons of water rushing through. The thunderous sound gave you an idea of its strength. Imagine flushing your toilet.........now imagine 1 million toilets flushing at the same time.
Buffalo - We drove to Buffalo, New York to watch the Buffalo Sabres vs. the Boston Bruins. As a gift to Eileen and Noel, I opted for gold rink side seats. At a cost of 180USD per ticket, these are crazy prices for league NHL games and I think national games are cheaper.
Since the departure of Eileen and noel, I've been very busy with work and other activities with my Toronto crew. I watched an NBA game between the Raptors and Pistons, went rock climbing, had dinner parties, went snowboarding at Mt Saint Louis which is 1.5hrs from Toronto and I just got home from snowboarding in western New York. Next week, I will be attending yoga classes, going cross country skiing and spending 2 nights in a cabin with Mother Nature.
