So how u liking the heat out here, I'm not far from Toronto so wer have approx the same temps. It was so hot yesterday I was wearing my tank-top & thin pants. but the funny thing is , is that we have about 3 feet of snow on the ground. SO I bet I sound real crazy to u americans eh?

Note, thats why I called myself the crazy Canadian.

Get ur friend to take u to Smiths Falls (4hr trip but worth it) & visit Hersheys, its a chocolate factory. Every visitor get a chocolate bar of some sort... I'm from Smiths Falls & I think it'll be worth a visit.

We drove past it Kingrattus... but it wasn't on our agenda. Maybe next time.

We went to Niagra Falls, toured the vineyards, Casa Loma, CN tower, had dinner atop the CN tower at 360 (what a view!!), and caught a performance of Mamma Mia.

Still having fun, but this week flew by so fast. *sighs*

We head home tomorrow. Shouldn't have a problem getting across the border but we're anticipating delays.

Take care everyone.

-------------------
Rob, Tom & I went to the us to have McDonalds.. We go every 6 months because we get really bored and have nothing else better to do or go & the McDonalds fries & drinks r HUGE compaired to ours, so its always a cool trip. But every time we go, the us custom guys never believe our story, so they search our car & ask stupid boring questions (but we don't complain too much except for last time.

it was 7pm when we got to the border & we knew the drill, park the car & go into the building & be asked questions. But this time the customs at the toll booth was an ass, first me made us drive backwards to read a Stop sign because we didn't stop (we didn't stop because he waved us over) & there were no other cars anywhere!! Then like usual he doesn't like our McDonalds story, Tells us to park over there & come inside the building... There were 5 or 6 guys in there with their hands on their GUNS!! They made us sit down to one side of the building & one at a time, fill out a card & show ID & ask boring questions...

Then they made one at a time go to the other side of the building & take off our coats (did I mention the u guards standing at the only exit door were holding their gun handles).. They made us empty our pockets, lift our shirts (except me)... Then we had to hand or coates to a guard to search pockets they didn't want us to touch. Thats when they found 30 straws in Toms coat & the 3 of us burst out laughing loudly. Tom has been collecting straws for about 2 yrs now from diff restraunts we go to because hes tired of not having a straw when he needs one (drinking pop of course)...
Then they found 290$ in my coat & I went red. I forgot to take my rent & bus pass money out of my pocket & was afraid he was gonna think we were drug dealers. Luckly he believed me. Then he found my gun lisence... & boy did their head turn fast & they were all stairing at me....
He asked where my gunes were & how many I owned/had...
I told him I didn't have any on me nor in the car. I own a .22 riffle & Rob ownes a .30 cal, a mini 14, half an AR15 (he's building it), another .22 & 2 CZ75 .40 cal pistoles & he wanted to hear some stories about me using my guns...
After 45min-1hr we were set free to go to McDonalds at last... we spent 20 mins there & headed home.. We stoped at the same border (except the canadian side) & the guy asked why we want to go to canada & we told him we live in ottawa & we just got back from McDonalds... Well he already heard about our ordeal with the americans & asked if we had fun getting in & Rob said, YA the cavity search wasn't too bad, the guy was real gentle... & the can. customs guard burst out laughing & told us to get lot...

& we can't wait till our next visit to the usa for McDonalds...
