I'd been convinced to go back to Toronoto for a few nights by people who I'd met in Niagara. It was also a good excuse to stay in the same place for a while as I was starting to get worn out by all this traveling! When I arrived it was nice to see familliar land marks and to know (vaugely) where I was going. I was even able to give people directions! I of course took full advantage of the free internet in the library having been cut off for a few days. On the way back to the hostel, something posessed me to get my nose pierced (a nice surprise for the parents). In the hostel there was a night of relaying messages back and forth trying to find Debbie. 2 people of the people in my room had been in Niagara just after me, and they did the running! In the morning I went down to the harbour and discovered that the Power Plant museam still wasn't open so I took lots of pretty pictures of the water instead. IT was amazing how much ice had melted in the few weeks I'd been away. I finally found Debbie that afternoon and after a bit of catching up we watched Aliedn in the cosy wee TV room. In the evening Lindsey and Mark came up from Niagara and we went out to Betty's and various other bars meeting up with other people on the way. Somehow we managed to spend $80 on a round at last orders when there was only about 5 of us still drinking. Lots of 1.5 vodcas and splashes of red bull. Needless to say, we spent the morning sleeping. I managed to get out to the train station and book my ticket west then spend a couple of hours in Starbucks before going back to the hostel for a nap and another film. We all set out to go to see Footloose at a random theatre that even the taxi driver had trouble finding only to discover that Lindsey can't read and it was actually only on at the weekends. Gutting! After trying and failing to put on our own production on the stairs, we went for plan B, more drinking. The first bar we found had a deal on for nachos so it seemed like a good idea. The also had milkshakes and ice cream :D From there we met some more people and wandered back into town to find another bar, but first, sushi! I don't think the staff were too impressed when 10 of us showed up just before closing; especially when we asked to pay sepearately. Martha (the Mexican local) was put in charge of finding a bar... maybe not a good idea. It wasn't very lively and was over run by English people but it had a nice balcony (with a view of Hooters) so we hung about. Mark was not impressed by this desision and walked off without a word, typical males! Eventually we were left with the 4 Britons walking back to the hostel singing Queen a little too loudly...It does make walking seem less far though.
My last night, we went to see A Superhero Movie with Martha and her friends which was good fun. A really stupid movie but you couldn't help but laugh at it. I refused the option of more drinking in favour of a (relitivly) early night knowing I had to get up stupidly early for a wonderful 3 day trian journey.
