Yep, I'm back in Canada, land of the Maple Leaf, and after basking in twenty-nine degree heat coming back to minus nine (with the windchill) and snow was a bit of a shock to the system. They say that while I was away the weather was "nice" but I do wonder quite what counts as nice!!
Thankfully though, I have fully aclimatized as can be shown by the walking to the train station this morning without the need of my jacket (yes, I had gloves and woolly hat on).
After spending a couple of days in Toronto (the Royal Ontario Museum is good, but expensive and has signage issues*, and the Hockey Hall of Fame is AWESOME)
I am now back in Ottawa, and while our Via train was also delayed by an hour-and-a-half because we were travelling FIRST CLASS there was a meal and free drinks. Very nice indeed!!!! And due to the lateness we also go a 50% credit (of $75) on our next purchase of Via tickets (valid for six months). I probably won;t be able to use it I suspect.
* - there were a lot of things that just had no signs to explain what they were, or there were signs and no indication as to which item they were for
