So today is my last day in Ottawa, and I am sad to be leaving. After getting to know Kristen's family, it feels like it has been too fast of a trip. Kristen is now going to be living back home permanently and will not be returning to Edinburgh. So we are now in our long-distance phase of our relationship. It will be very difficult but we will get through it. These last few weeks have been absolutely amazing and I have been taken to so many places. The trip to Niagara was by far one of the best and getting to know Kristen's Uncle Ennio and Grandma was nice. Kristen and I went to Pellar Wine Estates and took a wine tour. We got to taste grapes fresh off of the vine. We tried grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. We were also taken down to the wine cellar to taste different wines. I loved the Cabernet Franc Ice Wine. I wanted to buy a bottle of it but a 375ml bottle cost $90! Very expensive for such a small amount. We took many pictures and they are all uploaded to the photo section. I have uploaded about 400 photos for everyone to look at as well. We went to Niagara Falls and took a ride on the Maid of the Mist. We got so wet and it was so windy in the falls. The water was moving ridiculously fast! Was such a fun time and Kristen's Uncle Ennio is hilarious! My grandpa would get along with him so well.
Kristen's father and I went fishing a few days ago and spent a few hours on the water in his boat. I kept on catching small perch and stupid sunfish! Lou caught almost a dozen bass and kept 3 large ones. We had to bring the boat in early because the engine kept on cutting out. We went home and took the plug off the back of the boat and loads of water came rushing out! We opened the engine door and there must have been a leaky hose because there was so much water in the engine compartment. We had the bass for breakfast the next morning along with eggs, bacon and some other stuff. It was delicious! Kristen and I have been hanging out and making a scrapbook of all our memories. We've got a long way to go before finishing the scrapbook but it looks good so far! Kristen and I made stir-fry for the family yesterday and it turned out very good. Today we are just going to take MacKenzie to the dog park and do a little bit of shopping. I have a 1.15pm bus tomorrow to Montreal and then my flight to Paris, then Paris to Edinburgh. I will be so sad to leave but also excited to start the new school semester. I will be heading back for the Christmas break and Kristen will be coming back as well. I can't wait until Christmas break! Will be such a great time! So many places to show Kristen and so many people for her to get to know.
Well, better get going here. Remember to check the photos that I posted, there are LOTS of them! Hope everyone is doing well and will talk soon!

Hey! Most excellent pics!
Now I want to go to Niagara Falls. Maybe there will be CE near there next year. :)
Did you know Canada geese are not Canadian geese? They are just Canada geese. That's your trivia for the day. But what I don't know is....do they just call them geese there?
Hey, it's only 3 months until Christmas - you guys just did 2 months-ish over the summer, this shouldn't be too hard, right? Oh, crap, it's only 3 months until Christmas.
Talk to you later! Miss you!
