Niagara


Tina and Aaron drove us to Niagara falls. It was three below zero and raining and there was alot of mist coming off the falls. It was so cold that we kind of looked at it for about 1o seconds and then headed into the restaurant with a view. My gosh this place felt a little like Vegas once we drove a little up the street too. Lots of lights and fun park kinda things..
It was great to get out of Toronto a little bit. We stopped by a vineyard on the way home that sold icewine - one of the best apparently - Inniskillin.

kuviasukpok ('happy' in Inuit)


Its been a big year with 2 moves for us to 2 cities in 2 different parts of the world. We are happily settling into Toronto in a great little warehouse loft in West Queen West. Its so much bigger than our London pad and we been crazily filling it up with ideas from climbing walls to more table tennis. For now the minimal seems to work. At our little new years eve party with Aaron and Tina (and Rubens) we spent about 30 minutes playing air guitar and sliding with our socks from one end to the other. Fantastic way to bring on the new year! I have a feeling this year is going to be the best yet. My resolution lately is "throw all fear to the wind" so I guess my New YEar resolution should be that aswell. Oh and "play more squash" is a good one too.
