So here it is, the third part of our great Canadian trip report from way back in September. Sorry for the delay on this one but stuff just kept piling up on me in the last few months, as a result of which this entry has been so ungodly delayed ( Read more... )

Oh, my gods, what a wonderful time you had! =:D I suppose the star photo this time had to be the lanterns. ^_^ Those waves of lanterns just have such a beautiful flow to them! (Okay, trying not to sound too much like Pinkie Pie.. =:)

So, will you now be recreating Authentic Poutine? (I suppose it may not lend itself to a photo that well? =:)

It's so good to meet folk in person, ne? Even now, I've some friends I've only known online, though I've not done badly in getting to meet up with a lot of people I've come to know through MU*s, LJ, and more. Of course, with the way people come and go, some people sort of leave, whilst I first encounter others now - always such a delight, encountering a new friend. ^_^

And there's still Toronto that needs writing up. It's just a single day so shouldn't be too much to cover. But there is an interesting family story to go with it so I decided to put it in a separate entry.

You're right, the lantern picture I am particularly pleased with. Snapped this one from a platform-art installation thingy they put together on the main walkway through the district. Didn't think much of it at first but then looked at it after a while and was quite surprised how nice it came out. That flow is what really makes it work!

Already had a go at making my own poutine, have to say it wasn't exactly like what we had in Canada but close enough. I'll have to make some again but this time will try to track down some proper cheese curds.

Meeting someone you've known online in person for the first time is always so much excitement. I love it. The older I grow the less excitable I seem to get but this always does the trick. Speaking of which, never met you in person so we ought to fix that sometime!
