Feeona's Adventures In Wonderland

A few weeks ago it was decided that before Sinead and myself left the lovely North America, that we would indeed have to make a trip out to the spectacle that is Canada's Wonderland! So along with the always adorable Stephanie & Tong that is just what we did.

Now lets see how the day went...

After a slight detour in the wrong direction we finally arrived at Canada's Wonderland!

Where it seemed that the fore casted thunderstorms weren't enough to diminish the spirits of the hoards of thrill seeking punters.

Of course once said thunderstorm actually hit the park it was a different story as everyone ran for cover to avoid getting wet- even if it meant wearing really ridiculous rain jackets.

Soon enough it was deemed safe enough to go on all the rides, so after powering up on candy we headed back out to challenge as many roller coasters and rides as we could before possible throwing up...

Including the infamous Behemoth which just about killed me.

And before we knew it the sun was setting and our heads were getting a little cloudier...

So we headed home to collapse in our beds for a few hours before Sinead and me decided it was time to go out for some dancing. But now that's another story.

The Delight Of A Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday and being that birthdays are traditionally meant to be celebrated, I gathered up my small but wonderful group of friends here in Toronto and decided to hit the town for some drinks, food and laughs.

Let us see how the night went...

This is how I looked for the evening as I set of to start the night at Pour Boy on Manning avenue.

Where I met up with Sam, Liam, Bryan & Sinead.

We ordered mass amounts of Sangria.

After a while we decided it was time to eat.

And so a little lighter in the head we walked on to Guu Restaurant on Bloor Street.

Where the staff all affectionately yell at you as you walk in.

We decided that since everything on the menu looked so good that we would order a bit of everything and share.

The lovely Stephanie joined us at Guu.

The food was terribly delicious!

My lovely friends ordered me some birthday shots and got the whole restaurant to sing 'Happy Birthday' to me- which is possibly one of the sweetest things ever!

I got a nice crown and we decided it was time to move on somewhere else for some more drinks.

That 'somewhere else' ended up being an Irish Pub where we spent the rest of the night being ridiculous, singing some karaoke and having an all around merry time!

And so concludes my 23rd Birthday!

Sundays, Music & Markets

After waking up on Sunday morning to the sun shining in my face, it was decided that spending the day outdoors was probably the best option. So after putting on bulk amounts of sunscreen (I refuse to get burnt this summer!), myself and Sinead headed off to start our day- now lets take a look at how said day went...

Now there is a face I'll miss in a few weeks

Bonjour folks!

We headed to Kensington Markets...

Which was buzzing with people and activities!

Kensington is full of shops with all kinds of little trinkets.

Sinead even made a new friend.

And I found the world's smallest coffee cups- adorable.

We decided to laze around at a park and enjoy some ice cream, which was full with all kinds of interesting folks.

Then continued to stroll along the market, stopping at some cute little stores along the way.

Before stopping into Free Times Cafe for a snack and decided we would stay for the music.

We enjoyed the musical stylings of the sweet husband and wife duo Hotcha- who you can listen to Here .

Followed by Freeman Dre & The Kitchen Party- who I had the pleasure of seeing a few months ago and was happy to hear again. They are one of the best bands I have seen whilst I have been in Toronto. Listen here.

And so was my Sunday.
