Title: I'm back from Canada.
Post by: Darth Wyndisis on July 28, 2006, 06:47:47 PM
Hi, everyone.  This past week I was up in Ontario canoeing.  That was a fun trip, I must say.  I didn't drown or even tip over, but at one point we hit a rock going through some rapids, got hung up, and had to bail out.  Damn, that was a strong current.  I got shoved twenty or thirty yards downstream. by the canoe flowing down the river.  Then my meds dissolved and I was all zombie-like.  So, yeah, we canoed for five days.  Lots of nice scenery was up there.  We got off the water yesterday.  I got to have a couple drinks too because I am legal age up there, so that was fun.  I got back in Michigan today.  It's good to be home.

I was in Canada, oh, some many years ago when I was two.  I don't remember much, just my aunt.  My family had went to Niagra Falls.

Anyway, welcome back, Darth Wyndisis.  Did you bring me some water? :P

Canadian...American...We both live on the same continent and we're both human.  What other difference besides country of residence (and probably language) is there?

You've barely left the state we live in Sephiroth.  I've been to the whole Eastern half of the U.S.  Kansas is the farthest west I've been.

I've been all over the States.  California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Indiana, and Illinois.

I am going to miss the privilage to drink alcoholic beverages here in the U.S.  Having the drinking age being 19 makes a lot more sense than 21.  When and why did the U.S. change it from what it used to be (18 I think)?  Ah, well, it was fun while it lasted. ::)

its really big,like you can get lost in an instant. Theyre restaraunts around every corner (quite good thepizza is) and there are huge skyscrapers, so big you need to lok up at a 90 degree angle just to see half of it! They stores are huge, toys r us is like 3 stories high! And at christmas, the tree in rockerfeller center brightens the whole city, it has at leats 1000 lights! And there people, tons and tons of people.
Ahhh.....i love the big apple ;D. You should visit is...its great!

Yeah, it was a lot of fun, and good to get off the river when it was over.  My hands got really bad sunburn.  Second degree, almost.

Not so much.  I have been dousing it with aloe vera.  That stuff works like magic.
