Thanksgiving Weekend


Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving weekend. I certainly had a good one. The long weekend started on Friday night with the boyfriend and I watching a soccer match between Mexico and Panama. This was an important match as it determined whether or not Mexico would qualify for the World Cup in Brazil. The game started out slow but Mexico scored just before the end of the first half making the score 1-0. The second half was the most exciting! Panama scored making the game tied. Chicharito had an opportunity to get Mexico ahead with a penalty shot but sadly it was stopped by the goalie. Thankfully, Jimenez scored this beautiful goal minutes before the end of the second half. All we need now is to beat Costa Rica and we’ll ensure our way to the World Cup!! After the match we met friends at Dance Cave for some dancing and drinking.
 

Saturday night we went out to 244, a bar at Adelaide and Duncan . Cover was $10 and drinks were $3. Score! The night started out slow and the dance area downstairs was crowded making me feel a bit like a sardine. After a few drinks though I felt less crowded in and the night ended with our friends and their new conquests (haha) coming over to our place to continue the party. We also ended up with one of our neighbours joining us and it turned out his friend was half Mexican. I ended up going to bed at around 5:30 in the morning and leaving the partygoers to continue the party because I had work the next morning.

Sunday morning I tiredly worked and was glad when my work day was over. I headed home to shower and watch tv for a bit before heading out and joining my boyfriend at our friends’, Hans and Lars, place for a Thanksgiving dinner. I missed most of the fun and came at the end but I still managed to get some turkey which is all I really wanted, haha.  Our friends went out to Guvernment  for their 17th anniversary event but we chose to go home instead and save the $100 we would probably spend.  We ended up watching some interesting and heartbreaking documentaries on Netflix which I will talk about on another post.

On Thanksgiving Monday my aunt and uncle came to visit from London in their newly bought car. Big deal in our fam as we’ve never had a car during our time in Canada. We went to Greektown and had a lovely lunch, no turkey this time. Afterwards, we went to the Scarborough Bluffs and had a lovely stroll in the incredibly amazing weather. FYI, be prepared for photo overload.
