Home from our travels

Tom and I arrived home from Lefroy, Ontario on Wednesday afternoon. We had been visiting my two friends (and former roommates), Dave and Crystal. See Dave's description of our visit here. See Tom's description of our visit here.

We had a really good time. We went to Niagara Falls. We saw the falls (of course) and walked around a little while Dave was looking for a geocache that proved to be impossible to get to. We also went to Ripley's Believe It or Not. Earlier in our visit to Niagara Falls we had lunch at Denny's. I have never been so disappointed by a restaurant in my life. I had Zesty Nachos and Dave and Tom each had the sampler. I was only able to eat about half of the nachos because there was so much grease on them that half of them were soggy. And Tom and Dave were both disappointed with the sampler. Not only were we disappointed but the prices were obsurdly high. For Tom and I, it was about 40$ (including tip) and we only ordered appetizers! Never again will I eat at Denny's.

A good portion of our visit was spent geocaching with Dave (see Dave's description of what it is here). We had a good time working out the puzzles and searching for them even if we weren't successful with all of them.

We also went to Wonderland. We had fun, went on some awesome rides, avoided long line ups (for the most part) and managed to not get sunburnt (applying sunscreen 3 times probably helped).

And finally on Wednesday morning Dave, Tom and I had lunch with my friend Sara at Cora's (aka Chez Cora's in Quebec). It was good to see her since last time I did was at Dave and Crystal's engagement party and that is now over two years ago.
