Toronto

Going down to Toronto for a weekend was amazing. Leaving right after school in a rented car, we arrived after dark. Along the way, we sang along to the radio, played Monopoly, texted, and talked. We stopped for Swiss Chalet as we got into Scarborough, then headed on into the downtown core, where the Sheraton was. Amazing hotel, complete with its own waterfall garden and herb garden. We had a pillow fight and then went to bed.

The next morning, I awoke and went for a walk in the waterfall garden, though I had intended to cross the street and go to the city hall square. When the others woke, we went to the Ontario University Fair, the main reason of our visit. Managing to not find breakfast, we waited it out until lunch time, when the four of us polished off a Canadian pizza. When the fair ended, we headed over to the Pacific Mall for some relaxation. Upon returning to our hotel, we spent two hours doing homework, then went up to our rooms. We talked for hours about life and its unpredictability and complexity. It felt like forever. We slept at 1:20.

The next morning, we awoke to loud music and a man shouting over a megaphone. City hall, right across the road from our room, was hosting a marathon. We went out to find breakfast, although crossing the marathon was quite a hassle. We split up, two of us shopping inside the Eaton Centre while the other two went back to the University Fair.

We met up at 2:00 and headed for home. All in all, an amazing time.
