so, the weekend was amazing. i got to drink a raspberry daquiri in a restraunt ... legally. yay for canada's lower drinking age. let me see, let me see. we stayed at a hotel that was walking distance from the falls, it was a bit of a dive, but we got a king sized bed and a balcony. and the red shower/bathtub was pretty hot. um, walking outside and seeing two guys smoking pot was kind of humourous. oh! and ed's car getting searched because we were "skeezy" because we didn't make hotel reservations when going to another country. fun stuff.
ripley's believe it or not museum had some hot art in it called "tramp art" that was made out of matchstick books and cigar boxes. apparently they would trade it for food and money -- other things like that. whether or not that's true, i don't care. it was still amazing.
the falls were beautiful -- i mean, what more is there to say than that? the ice that had formed around it, was magnificient. yay for naturally formed ice sculptures.
after that, we went to buffalo, new york on the way back, to have official buffalo wings. we searched around for a parking lot that we wouldn't have to pay for and found one. next to an abandoned building. that had a fence around it, that had been pushed down to get inside. which didn't have a door boarded up. and also had been tagged by several different gangs/people/ etc. we're brilliant. we also got psuedo-caught in a buffalo style snow storm.
it was a great trip. a full weekend of hanging out with my guy. i took lots of pictures -- hopefully i can post some up here by next week!
