Canadia, eh??

I apologise for the lack of updates, but finding an internet cafe these days is more difficult than you'd think. Anyways, a lot has happened since my last post...I hardly know where to begin. Oh, the beginning, right...

My last few days in DC were spent lazing around, being sick, shopping, and spending time with my cousin. It was really nice, just chilling out after all the craziness that had just happened and would soon occur. I eventually left DC and, after having some run-ins with idiot bus drivers, and a cricket crazy Indian taxi driver offered me cake, I ended up in New York City for the 4th time to meet up with one of my mates from back home, Bec (better known as Pegs).

We spent the next 2 nights there, chilling out in Central Park on Labour Day and then jumping on a bus to Boston the next day. Boston is a really cool place; very old and English...which I've decided is more my cup of tea than the craziness of NYC. We did the touristy things - Harvard, downtown, Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill, as well as go into three different Urban Outfitters stores in search of a top I became obsessed with! We also did some serious damage to our digestive systems by chowing down on really inexpensive but good (but greasy and American) breakfast at a place called Dempseys near the hostel. SFK fans would be so proud!

Three days later, we up and left for Toronto, Canada, where I am right now. It's really nice here, a lot like Melbourne, with trams and a lot more normal people around town. We had to endure a 16 hour overnight bus ride, however, and I must say it was torturous and I officially hate Greyhound! Because the first bus was running so late, we almost missed our transfer and as a result had to sit seperately and next to insane people. The guy next to me was bringing back kilos and kilos of dried fish to his pregnant wife, and seemed really paranoid that someone was going to steal the stinky crap! Pegs had to sit next to a woman that just would not stop talking...really incoherently.

We've had a rocky start to the Toronto leg of our trip; it was raining and miserable when we got here, we were knackered, and our hostel is rather grotty and unorganised...we booked a 6 bed female dorm but have ended up in a 4 bed mixed dorm...but on the upside, one of our roommates is hot! And really nice too :P

So yeah, that's the goss of the minute...I'll try to get my photos onto a CD at some point in Toronto, but I'll see how I go. And I promise I'll try to update more often, but I love your messages and emails, so let love flow babies!

see you bye.
