Hey guys, Well after a long 5 hour train ride I am back in my favourite city! I loved Ottawa last time and it looks even prettier this time with the snow. I didnt do too much here because I did most things last time but I basically just walked around the city to see everything again. I must say though today was soooo cold! The temperature outside was -17 and when you factor in the wind chill it felt like -28 outside!!! I almost literally froze! But that said it...

The next two days consisted of packing and saying goodbye to those who were not coming back semester. I had quite an adventure actually getting to Toronto.

Well this morning was another early start...caught the bus into Toronto and then hopped on to the train for Niagra Falls. It took about 2 hours with many stops along the way...and like usual I slept most of the way!!! The train station isnt actually at the falls so you have to take a shuttle down to that area. That part of town is actually really run down and dirty...and then you get to the falls which are so touristy!!! After seeing the falls and taking many p...
