Toronto

Social media reminded me yesterday that one year ago I was cavorting about Canada with my dear friends. Our quick little getaway was filled with tapas and dim sum, Canadian poutine and German sausages, sweet treats and, as Al would said, “dense cakes.” If you ever have the opportunity to head to Toronto, drop what you’re doing and take it! (And please bring me along for the ride, because I aim to be an international delight.)

Niagara Falls

I felt like I was the only person who hadn’t seen Niagara Falls, so when some friends and I started planning a trip to Toronto, I wheedled them into a side jaunt to Niagara Falls. Little did I know that our visit would involve matching Canadian ponchos that inflated like and twisted like cheerful windsock dancers. (International memories are my favorite memories.)
