Ian
arrived from Australia on a blistery day and was almost shocked back
onto the plane. It also didn't help that he arrived with a terrible
toothache, which eventually led to a root canal by the end of the week.
What a great introduction to Canada!
It was great having him in
Toronto as I got to play tourist for a month doing all the novelty
"winter" things I'd normally never do. We spent a day at Magic Hill
farms chopping down our Christmas tree (I've always wanted to do that)
going to "Desserts by Candlelight", a traditional Christmas time
evening in a pioneer village, and of course Christmas party after
Christmas party. One of Ian's favorites was going Ice skating at Nathan
Phillip Square with my dad's 150 year old ice skates. Ian was worried
he might be kicked off the ice for having skates that weren't certified
to skate on!
We spent the rest of time seeing musicals,
Christmas shopping, and rockclimbing. Ian, it turns out is a natural
climber, doing walls that I can't even do!
After three weeks of
dragging Ian around to meet my friends and family (he loved you all)
and a great Christmas with mom and dad, we were sad to say "good-bye"
but excited to go.
It was so great to see you all while at home! We'll keep you updated on our adventures!
