I had a good but busy day today.
I went out with my niece this morning. She drove us to her parking area and then we caught a bus to Southgate Mall. After that, we transferred to the LRT and moved quickly under the city. My niece got out at her school and I stayed on another stop for the mall. I walked over to the mall and while I was there did a lot of shopping. I got things that I had been looking for a while and spent rather a lot of money! I had a light lunch of poutine which I can't get in Japan and then did a little more shopping too.
Around 3:30 or so I got dressed up in my coat again. I made myself as warm as I could and made the trek back to the LRT station. I caught a train to the University and then switched to a local bus. I got off on Whyte Avenue, which was my old stomping ground. I walked a few blocks along the street and went into a few places including the bank I used to work at. There was no-one there that I knew, my last remaining co-worker seems to have been transferred.
Along the street I marvelled at the new buildings and mourned a few that have closed since the last time I was there. I did a little souvenir shopping, and bought a few books at the second hand book shop.
It was starting to get near my meeting time with my friend so I walked back to the restaurant. It was quite early so I went to the coffee shop across the street from our meeting place and had a cup of tea.
When it was time, I went to The Continental Treat and met my friend. We had a lovely meal of dill pickle soup, pork schnitzel and then we shared a dessert of Black Forest Cake. It was really lovely.
We had to break up our party so she very nicely brought me to the LRT Station by bus. While we were there, we did a couple of selfies and then I caught the train to the south part of the city. My friend had let me phone my sister, so a few minutes after I arrived at the final station, my sister came to pick me up. Hurray.
When I got back to the house, I dumped my bags, had a drink and then my family wanted to watch a movie. We all got together on the couch and watched Justice League which was a lot of fun. Of course, we'd all seen it before, but it was neat to see it like this.
And that's about it. I'm not sure what I'll get up to tomorrow. My holiday is coming to an end and I am really sad. I'll have to start packing my suitcases soon to see if everything is going to fit. I really hope so!
Come back later and see what I get up to on Saturday. Until tomorrow....
