Yes. It has been a while since my last post. It’s not as though we’ve been living some crazy wild ride this past month, nor have we had a completely dull stretch either. So why the radio silence? I guess laziness, with possibly some blame resting on the shoulders of the changing seasons. I just…
Living right in the heart of Toronto has been an exciting way to reintegrate with the city. There are always events happening nearby, including the kick off to the Pan Am games with the torch relay, but possibly our favourite part of living in this neck of the city is being right by the waterfront.…
A meal we both love but hardly ever make is the burger. Pre-trip we had a little indoor grill and would from time to time try out burgers at home, but honestly, Toronto is not only a city filled with restaurants, but there are several specialty burger joints that get top marks, so why bother,…
In an effort to act like a tourist and explore our own backyard, Ewan and I had marked the Spring as a time to pay attention to when the cherry blossoms would come out. Ever since we’d moved to Toronto, we’d hear about the mass pilgrimage to High Park (and a few other localized spots…
So Ewan and I have been back in Canada for over 100 days (how did that happen!?). We get asked a lot how we’re doing and the adjustment back to a non-travelling life. The truth is, it’s hard to say and it’s been a completely different experience for both of us. Ewan was back at…
I still can’t get over the fact that our dream trip is behind us. We are slowly acclimatizing to the timezone, weather and regular life here in Toronto. Now that we aren’t travelling, what is the deal with the blog? It’s been great having it on our travels, especially for the sanity of our parents…
Though it’s only been 4 days since we’ve been in Mumbai, it seems a world away. The bustling city was not at all what I expected. A charming colonial area with beautiful architecture, a haze that stretched out over the water making the sea and sky blend together seamlessly. And despite being a super big…
Holy crap. We have ten sleeps left and then we will be commencing our journey home, back to Toronto. In some ways it feels as though it was just a couple of weeks ago that we left an icy-cold Toronto to jet to the warm welcome of Mexico. But then when we think about some…
As our train rolled into Varanasi, we clearly heard a young voice pipe up “Excuse me. Excuse me!”. Hesitant that the sanctity of the train had been breached and that a young tout was already haranguing us, I took a sheepish glimpse towards the voice. “She wants to tell you something” said the mother of…
We escaped the chaos of Chennai and had an extremely comfortable bus ride to Bangalore. The area of the city we were staying was leaps and bounds nicer than the hood of our Chennai digs. We should have felt more comfortable and relaxed. The city took on a festive air as there was the National…
