Couldn't Be More Canadian ...

-
After our night at Great Wolf, we were bright and sunny and ready to hit the water park once more.




After finishing the last 15 pages of Bring Up the Bodies and inhaling hours worth of chlorine, I had a thought ... We should leave!


So we grabbed our massive game room winnings, aka a pair of googly glasses, snapped a pic with Wolfy, and took off.



Our soupy, sloppy, worst of winter drive led to this post's title.  At one point, we were driving down the QEW toward Toronto, when Rush came on the radio, and we decided this trip couldn't get any more Canadian--unless we had some Tim Horton's.


Finally ... Toronto!


I had Hotwired our hotel for $82, so we were pleasantly surprised by a huge room overlooking an awesomely empty Rogers Centre. 



We grabbed a fantastic dinner with the world's friendliest server at our hotel. She literally drew us maps, gave us cans of soda for our rooms, and told us about off menu items. 



Turned out that the new Toronto aquarium was right behind our hotel and--like most aquariums--was open til 11 pm. That's normal, right? Whatevs. Yay!!  So we got our fish on! 


We saw Octopi!


Imprisoned children!


Kelp beds!


And the most awesome tunnel of fish and sharks (SHARKS!) since Jaws 3 in 3D!





Seriously, it went on forever and held about a dozen sharks. Just hanging out. Plotting their next Sharknado, Canada-style.



This was one of the most interactive aquariums we've been to--that's saying something 'cause we love aquariums. Lots of chances to touch creatures, crawl through displays, and pop up in them.





And then ... psychedelic Jellies!! 




One of us went a bit too far in the jelly-rave :)


And after departing our late night voyage, we bid Toronto a chilly good night, eh, under the light of our mothership, the CN tower.

From Castle to Temple in Just One Day

Our hotel has a theme of music that runs from the lobby through the elevators and into the rooms. Lyrics line the walls in tasteful handwriting. It gives the place a very welcoming, creative vibe. On our second morning in Dublin, we set off around brunch time for the other breakfast place recommended by our hotel, Lemon Jelly . We beat the line by a few minutes and filled up on yummy omelets, Irish breakfasts, and Americanos. It was history day in every possible way: on the schedule were the Dublin Castle, Book of Kells, Jameson Distillery, and a ghost bus. Plus some food in between. Our walk to the castle on this grey day took us past murals and lovely architectural elements. Dublin is a compact city, easy to walk with something to grab your eye around every corner. It's Ireland's largest, but even so, it has only about a half a million residents, a bit more than two-thirds the size of DC. There is great concern about the cost of living in Dublin, but according to internationa

There Will Be Glaciers

After our port visits for the past few days, we were on to Glacier Bay.  According to our Freestyle Daily, we'd be arriving at the bay around 7:15 am, so I was up and out on deck early in anticipation.  There weren't many of us, and there wasn't much to see.  The skies were grey and the clouds were low--making for some dramatically moody photos but no glaciers were in sight. While the ship is in Glacier Bay, US Park Rangers are on board to answer questions, share information, and offer commentary about the glacier and the environment that produced it.  They tendered onto the ship early in the morning and set up shop in one of the lounges.  The map below shows the route we took into and out of the bay. As the morning moved along, the decks began to fill with eager glacier hunters, and I ran back to the rooms to wake everyone up.  (One thing we realized on this trip was that we really need to bring walkie talkies on our next cruise.  Now that we're all fu

Sunday morning, and Harper (aka Lumpy Space Nesmith ) and Penn (aka the 11th Doctor) made their way to the Convention Center for the last time. Penn was in his element and got asked to join a few photos in this ensemble :) He even charmed Stormtroopers. We had basically bypassed the North Building each day, using it just for panels or to cross over to the South.  So, on our last day, we spent a bit of time there.  First, reconnecting with the always amazing and generous Doctor Who Society of Canada.  They are great people who always bring it for FE!  As this collection of homemade Daleks shows. This year, they were collecting funds for the Sick Kids Foundation, a Canadian charity.  Donors could take unlimited photos with the Daleks and record their Dalek voice.  Penn couldn't resist: We then split because Harper realized that an enormous Intel installation devoted to competitive gaming and other tech filled up much of the North Buildi
