Florida

Hey,

As Eline visited us in NY we visited her in Florida. She has a lovely place there in Fort Lauderdale and of course her swimming pool is awesome.
We spent some time on the beach, visited Miami (crazy town), lost my cell phone , drunk wine in the pool mixed with water and salsa dip, got attacked by some see cows, fair to say I had a hell of a good time!!

Visit from Florida

The weekend after Niagara falls Eline from Florida came over. She is doing her internship there in a company called Omnicom. So we took her up from Newark airport and introduced her to everybody. The next day the weather was really bad, it rained for the entire day. So the first thing we did was buying an umbrella. We showed her all the typical NYC tourist attraction and fair to say I don’t even need a map to find them in the city. I know my way around the city (especially midtown), but we still haven’t seen everything. The street system is really easy, you have avenues that run through the length of the city and you have streets that run in the width of the city.

Eline is a really cool girl and it immediately clicked between the NY gang and her:). Luckily the second day the weather was a lot better and we took the opportunity to visit the statue liberty.

Here are some pictures

Niagara falls

As you probably already noticed blogging is not really my thing, but I’ll try to catch up where I last left.

So after my guest from Belgian went home went to the Niagara Falls in the weekend. It was a 8 hour drive on a very peaceful road (unlike Boston).
The weather was great and we could take some beautiful pictures of the crazy waterfalls. We also went on 3 different visit tours: the first one we walked in to the American waterfalls, yes of course we were all dressed up, see picture :)

The second tour was going in the Canadian falls with a boat, that was by far the best one :) and on the 3th we went up a big tower to see the falls from above.




Then we drove further into Canada to Toronto, in the city there is not that much to see but the coolest thing we did was eating dinner in the world’s largest tower, the CN building. The restaurant was really nice and the cool part was that while you’re eating the floor turns around giving you a beautiful view of the city.
