Day 5- a picture of somewhere you've been to
Well, on Christmas Day 2008 Shad and I "been to" our first trip out of the country together to Canada for a few days at Niagara Falls. Since it was right after Christmas there were not so many tourists and the weather turned out to be surprisingly nice. During our first trip down to the falls (our hotel was about three blocks away) there was a lot of snow and ice on the ground, especially as we got closer to the Falls.
Three days later, I took a picture of the same marker, now completely free of snow and ice. The temperatures got up to the high 50's, low 60's and it was actually nice enough to walk around without a coat (at least for those of us acclimated to the Midwestern winters!)
Possibly one of the best parts of the trip was the unique dining experience that we shared at a Chinese restaurant. Shad spotted the flyer for this place at our hotel and decided that we should give it a try. Of course, we had no concept of how far away from the hotel it was so we called a cab and, with our senses of adventure front and center, off we went to this fabulous mecca of Chinese goodness. Right. Like $10 later we got to the place and find that it's among the sketchiest buffets ever. Like, so sketchy that when the floors got a little wet the employees threw down copious amounts of corn starch to make it "safer." It was pretty atrocious, but us being us we found plenty to laugh about. Shad even found these delectable (?) cookies for desert.
