body div#devskin0 hr { }
I made it back (mostly) in one piece from Toronto Canada!
So 4 years ago at the FanExpo Canada show I met this lovely girl Caitlyn, we became friends, and I invited her and her sister Juliet to help me out at the convention last year; this year they invited me to stay at their lakehouse before the show for a few days - how could I refuse an offer like that!?
I travel a lot, but an actual few days holiday - What a treat!
Although there wasn't toooo much time for chilling, as Cait and her family had many high-octane plans for me! Including 'tubing' which involves sitting on a giant rubber ring pulled by a speedboat! And ATV driving, which involves just as much clinging on for dear life...
The jet-lag got me up early each morning, so I went and sat on the docks to read my kindle (it's new and I am in love with it) ~~What a way to start the day, (reading about Cognitive Behavior Therapy implementation )
The trip was just what I needed, some time to spend chilling out, and some wonderful people to do it with.
I can't think of a better way to drink-in Canadan beauty than by the waterside!
I did have a go at waterskiing too: I didn't get up, but I did manage to partially tear my hamstring, and am still walking funny (I'm trying to pretend it's my London swagger) but I'll be okay, seeing a physiotherapist tomorrow
Who needs to see a Moose when you can see stars like this?
All too soon it was time to go... So we built a campfire. And I lost my smore-ginity.
Without a car it's really hard to get out and explore Canada, so the last few years I've just roamed the concrete of Toronto, so I finally feel like I've seen some of the 'real' Canada. I'm going home with so many amazing memories, from such a kind and beautiful family, honored they opened their homes and hearts to me. So Caitlyn, Juliet, Jeffery, Randy and MaryAnn - Thank You!
I'll leave you with a sweet thought from MaryAnn, Caits mother said, about when I accepted their offer to stay in their cabin: "How did you know we weren't murderers"
Sometimes you don't. You just gotta trust
And then it was time to step up to the reason I went over to Canada in the first place... - FanExpo!
The show went great ~~ my booth was busy with stories and hugs
After the show I booked into a nice hotel as a treat...
Lets just say I never thought I would post a photo of myself having a bath... until I found this bath! XD
Pretending my fizzy water is champagne
So wow, what a trip! I'm limping but very happy
Part 3 of my story is coming soon (I know I say that every time XD It's sooooon)
Peace, Love and Mooses,
Blue x

It was nice to meet you and my daughter is still bragging to all her friends at school about the cool girl with the blue hair who she wants to be able to draw like You definitely did Canada right! Toronto is nice, but getting up north for a bit to chill surrounded by nature is one of the best parts of Canada
Come back soon!

I was so happy when I found out you were coming to fan expo again, literally right when I got in my guardian and I rushed to your booth!
(I was the person with the Steven Universe shirt on Saturday)
I'm happy you enjoyed it! AND I'm so happy i got to meet you for the second time and finally buy one of your prints.. "Never seen stars"
You're such a lovely person, and I'll definitely come visit next year if you decide to go again

Glad you had an awesome time over there! Your blue hair looks amazing by the way. I also like that dress you wore in your booth photo. That last pic almost looks like it was painted, I mean that in a good way.
Stay awesome and sweet Blue! You're an angel!

Wow, sounds like so much fun; congrats on losing your smore-ginity.
Also pretty amazing to know there's still places in the world where you can properly see the night sky and not just a few stars. It's the one thing that makes me wish I lived in the middle of nowhere, or in a time where city lights wouldn't light up the sky blinding out the universe.

I'm lucky to see one or two stars at night in London, my jaw just dropped when I saw the sky at night out there!

Qwaiii In reply to DestinyBlue [2016-09-10 13:54:15 +0000 UTC]
Mine would too, photographs are amazing, but actually seeing something for yourself is very different.
Like fire, you can look at a picture of it, but wouldn't really feel or see how it dances.
Reminds me that it's a pretty important detail to keep when writing a story in a medieval or fantasy setting.
