Poutine and Donuts

So, Saturday, as many of you know is our diet day off so it was no holds barred.

We started the morning with Tim Horton's donuts which is a donut shop all over the city. Our favorite was the donut holes! They have raspberry, lemon, cinnamon, chocolate, powdered...my favorite was the cinnamon.

Next we did a little research to find the best place for Poutine: French fries, cheese curds and gravy. Oh my!! We went downtown to Caplansky's Deli. It was the best thing I have eaten in a long time! The key is the gravy and the squeaky curds!



Then we walked around the waterfront and contemplated taking a ferry boat to the little islands but everyone and their brother had the same idea so we walked more in town to check out the free Inuit art gallery exhibit at a bank. It was mostly sculpture and I prefer painting but it was interesting still.



Then we headed over to a very trendy neighborhood called the historic distillery district which has a number of shops and restaurants and ice cream! Chocolate, cinnamon, toasted marshmallow, vanilla, orange cream, yum!



Finally, we headed back to the hotel for one last go in the pool and dinner of fish and chips!

Today, Sunday, we are on our way back home! It just took us an hour to get through the border crossing. Oh boy.
