From Ottawa to Mississauga by car
A few weeks ago, when I was still free to travel, we went to visit our friends Carol and Luciano, in Mississauga, in the Toronto metropolitan area (GTA). It's always nice to visit them, but again, it had to be something fast, going on Friday and back on Sunday. Despite the 475km door-to-door, the route from Ottawa (Kanata in our case) to GTA (Mississauga) is quiet and hassle-free. The most obvious path between the two cities is by highways 417 – 416 – 401 and 403, respectively, which can be done in approximately 4h30min, since all stretches are duplicated (or tripled / quadrupled in some areas) and it is all…

Happy Thanksgiving!
*Thank you Camila! I use Lightroom to edit the photos when I think need it. 🙂 Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving is celebrated today here in Canada. This year, despite the holiday season, we stayed at home and didn't make any typical date suppers around here. We are reserved, thanking you for the blessings we have and for which we are grateful. We take the opportunity to take a walk here through the neighborhood, admiring the beauties that the Canadian autumn offers us. The temperatures have gotten nice during the day and dropping near zero at night (and it looks like it has a forecast of the first flakes there by the…

7 years in Canada
Wait, stop the world I want to go down! 7 years ago (jáaaaa!) we ventured into one of the biggest steps of our life and I am happy to share, that yes, we are grateful that we did. See here the previous years – 1 year // 2 years // 3 years // 4 years // 5 years // 6 years Well, well-planned adventure, by the way, but it's still a daring undertaking. It's okay that back in 2007, when we got here, it was just the two of us, suitcases and dreams. Today we are almost 6 and we see the world in a very different way from what…

Alice – 3 years old
The alice birthday party this year was a week before the anniversary date this year, for strategic reasons, as we will be away on the weekend of her date. Who missed the previous year – here's the link to her 2-year anniversary. Anyway, this year's theme was cowgirl/cowboy/Jessie from the movie Toy Story. Of course, if I had let her choose a few days before, it would have been frozen (what a fever huh?!), but I thought it's very popular these days and I don't like doing the same as what everyone else is doing. Alice saw all our preparation and running, so it wasn't a revelation when everything was…

Central Bierhaus Pub in Ottawa, Ottawa
The other day we were at another new restaurant in Ottawa, more specifically Kanata, . CENTRAL BIERHAUS is a new pub/brewery that promises to have the largest collection of beers and some of the best European dishes in the city. The menu is almost all inspired by European dishes (mainly German) and the price is not so salty. Worth a lot of the visit, I loved the atmosphere (I also highlight the interior design, rich in details), the service (our waiter seemed to love what he did) and of course, the food (all done on site or canadian origin) and beers (I can only say that Diego approved that el and…
