Oh Canada! Our home and native laaaaand :D

So I have landed in Toronto and so far things are going quite well!  My flight was on time, my luggage mostly survived (my carryon/knitting bag has a HUGE rip in the bottom...). Opani gave me a ride to Shona's from the airport which was greatly appreciated and which meant I got to see her this time around which was awesome and Shona and I had dinner at a nearby pub. When we are almost done eating I start looking at the picture on the wall next to the booth behind shona and it's a picture of South Porcupine! No word of a lie, it's a picture of a tent set up as a temporary bank headquarters after the fire of 1911.  It was SO cool and I didn't have my phone to take a picture so I might need to go back tomorrow night.

Anyhow, that's the mishmash of events for today minus the obvious crying and farewells.  On tomorrow's agenda -- lunch with Shona, a trip to Lettuce Knit, potentially buffalo ice cream (I have to find out where it is first) and dinner with Shona and Greg!  It should be a pretty chill day.

Love you all and looking forward to seeing my Timmins folks soon (and I miss you already my Seattle-based friends and family!)
