What better way to begin the visit in Toronto than getting delayed by a freak snow storm and ending up waiting for almost 2 hours for a taxi?
Today made up entirely for yesterday's havoc however. To celebrate the birthday of the Cable Car (est. 1958) today my mother and I solely depended on Toronto's streetcar for transportation. I am a near virgin in the area of public transit, and heading downtown Toronto felt like an entirely different ball-game than busing to the Orchard Park Mall in Kelowna. It was however, a success! We did not get lost once, and other than sitting behind an absolutely repulsive man who smelled of alcohol and pee and insisted on picking things out of his hair and eating them... it was an enjoyable ride.
We made it to the Eaton Centre and walked through enough slush and snow to completely soak my poor choice of footwear. It was all worth it though, as I got to purchase a new pair of boots (a steal at $15!) and a lavish pair of high heels for prom :) I am so easy to please.

The tour of Ryerson was adequate. We would have loved to go inside a few buildings instead of standing like a herd of sheep on street corners in the freezing weather. However, it was amazing that I was able to actually see the university, and get a pretty good picture of how life would be like living there. And that picture is rather nice, if I must say.
To conclude this little post, the best suited holiday March 24 has to offer would be Family Day. In about 5 minutes, I will be off to a little corner restaurant called the Eggplant with my aunt and two cousins. After dinner, my uncle will be home from work and we will probably sit around the fire and drink orange pekoe tea like we did last night. And I am perfectly okay with that, in fact.. I love it.
All for now,
Aimee OC
