13 more days!

So I as I begin to count down to my departure to New York City I have come to the realization I am not the only one who will be having some pretty exciting adventures. Two of my friends have recently informed me that they will soon be travelling to different parts of this country as well as other countries all together. One is off to Scotland for work in march and the other will be travelling to British Columbia for a short trip and then possibly returning there to attend to school next fall. Soon I'll will be able to brag about the various different locations where I have friends. Anyone want to move to Australia so I have a really good excuse to visit there as well?

Our Adventures Downtown

So as I am cooking Lasagna for supper and before I dive into my time consuming elevations I figured I post one more blog. This weekend, my roommate and I decided to take a trip downtown in order that I might visit the art store there and search for any supplies that might happen to be cheaper there than at school. Instead of taking the bus down Richmond we walked the entire length from Mill to Dundas where we caught our bus, visiting stores all the way.

In one of the stores we looked in - Kiss the Cook - we found this unique little teapot. After discovering that the depiction was of an owl Sharon immediately fell in love with it, asking me to take a picture of it in order that she might have photographic evidence of it's awesomeness. 

The second photo we took was of a vibrant pink door, quite striking among many different dull colors in the downtown.

Our next little adventure while we were downtown was at an old Anglican church that had opens doors and Beckoned Sharon to no end. After a little bit of convincing that Sharon accomplished We headed across the street to see exactly all that was in the church. Sharon, being Sharon of course, gave the guards, who informed us it was 1812, a rather difficult time as they guarded the door. After several minutes of bantering we were then informed exactly the purpose of a bayonet and why it was so wonderful. Yes we were in fact threatened. I guess that's what I get for letting Sharon lead the march into our discovery.
