Went to a major city in Canada to visit a family member. Had a weekend of ups and downs in visiting our interesting neighbor to the North. First bump in the road (won't go into details) but at the border, had to go to "THE BUILDING" for interrogation and was mildly threatened with arrest. Wow - what happened to the friendly country I used to know!!!! It was all eventually straightened out and we made it to our destination. We spent the remaining part of the first day helping our loved one move from one apt to another. The process was stressful, but well-executed and ultimately successful. That night we visited downtown and looked for a vegan restaurant. The one we tried to get in had a 1 hour and 1/2 WAIT. YAY for a place that a vegan restaurant needs a reservation. (unfortunately for us) But we found a Mexican restaurant right down the street where our waitress turned out to be a vegan and steered us to the right stuff on the menu. There were 4 of us - 2 vegans and 1 semi-vegan and 1 carnivore. Since the menu had something for everyone and we got a chance to laugh, relax and visit - great fun. The next day we went back downtown to a funky marketplace sort of place - it was cold, but the sun was beaming down on us. We found a real vegan restaurant (see foto for sign outside the cafe). I had a sweet potato and millet curry with tons of other veggies and spices. So delicious!!!! Canada is back in my good graces - it won me over once again with it's diversity, laid back friendliness and unique architecture.
