Back to Being a Tourist
Today I strolled around the old town. I have been there a few times before but you can go somewhere in this city 100 times and still discover new things! In my travels I picked up some little orange gift bags for the kids to decorate for trick-or-treating on Tuesday and a wall hanging thing that I think I will use as a bedroom door (as it is just a walk through). We found this beautiful quiet little park admist the crazyness in this area, it was really refreshing. It was so busy today ..took us 20 minutes to get a cab to go home (unheard of!). I forgot to bring my camera .. I have been bad at that lately as the novelty of having a digital has worn off. I promise to get some pictures up soon.
My new favourite thing in this city is Mandarin oranges .. or at least that's what I call them. You know those tiny orange slices you can buy in a can at home .. my mom uses them to decorate cakes with. You can get them fresh here and they are so cute and yummy. They're smaller than clementines .. how cute is that!
Next week at work should be fun as we have Halloween, our monthly birthday party and a school wide trip to Circus World! All the parents come on the trip with us so I'm pretty much free to enjoy the day, besides some schmoozing with parents of course.
Gym Update: week 3 successful ... and I was sick Sunday & Monday so had to cram it into the end of the week when I was tired! Kudos to moi! There are some fitness classes I may try in November ..one is a hip hop class and the other is aero-combat. They look hard and fun!
