Okie.. so it’s been a bit since I posted anything… between the Jet lag of getting to Toronto, meeting sis after 2 1/2 half years and seeing my princess Rhea for the first time… you really can’t blame me for being a little lax on the posting front!

Its a beautiful time here now… the pristine white snow covering eveything is quite a treat for us people from the tropics. Landing in toronto and the arial view of the city bathed in white was was breath taking.

People had warned us of -6 degree temperatures here. Not being one for the cold, I was dreading stepping into the cold, freezing and keeling over… But thankfully, if one is dressed for the weather, it is really good fun to be outside and in the snow! Once i got a little used to it, I had an absolutely awesome time snow stomping, trying to pack a snow man, snow balling people and rolling about in the snow!

Yesterday, we even got to witness a ‘Snow-ma-geddon’! Thats what the call a good hearty snow storm here. With temperatures going down to -11 and wind chills of -22, everything in the city was at a stand still. Meanwhile, I had a lovely time watching the snow fall while being nested in a heavenly hot tub in the condos indoor pool with clear glass walls and cieling. Once the storm warning was called off, we even managed to step out for a bit and had quite a ride driving over the snow laden roads and watching the snow ploughs clear the roads. Check out some of the snaps.

The Snow is Everywhere

Once we were settled in a bit, we felt confident enough to venture out into the city by our own. The subway is quite a convinient way around the city. Though the signage in and around the subway leaves a little to desire….Nothing to beat the london tube in terms of signage and making travel idiot proof. After a few boo boos (thats little Rhea talk for a faus pax) of going around in circles and not being able to find the sub way entrace or going to the lotto center and asking for sub way tickets (don;t even ask me how we managed that!), getting on the wrong direction train etc.. we’ve managed to figure the subway and it’s lines.

Well, thats all for starters…. We’re planning to see the top few city attractions over the next few days and so will keep posting. Aure voir for now!
