Good day everyone! Jon and I have a very nice day with lots of company. This morning, our good friend Chloe made us a wonderful brunch. She made mussels, salmon and squash with brown rice and cranberry cinnamon oatmeal cookies for dessert. It was DEEEELICIOUS! She’s a very good cook. It was very nice seeing her.
After we left Chloe’s, we drove to Orangeville to see Jon’s grandpa’s friend. They have been friends for a while but never managed to meet. He and his wife were very lovely and nice. They gave us more information on the places to see as we head further east. They also showed us their garden/landscaping and let us ride in his Supercharged Avanti. They also gave us a can of maple syrup from Quebec which we’ll bring back for Jon’s grandpa. It was a very nice visit.
From Orangeville, we drove to Mississauga where we saw Jon’s grandma’s nephew. It was interesting because Jon and the nephew have an age gap of at least 25 years yet they are cousins. We also found out that the nephew’s son is the same age as Jon but Jon is his uncle. Actually, the son is older because his birthday is in August and Jon’s is in December. Funny, eh? They were very sweet and welcoming. They brought us to Mandarin, a Chinese/Japanese/Western buffet. It was delicious. They had crab legs, shrimps, salmon sashimi and much more. Everything was very tasty. It was nice for Jon to learn more about his family history from his cousin (grandma’s nephew). The nephew spoke mainly Cantonese so I had to translate for Jon. They gave us a box of Japanese cookies. We would save it for Jon’s grandma but it probably won’t last.
Jon wants to let you know that I’m bad because I ate Chloe’s delicious oatmeal cookie before Chloe’s meal and before the buffet. However, I didn’t know we were going to a buffet!
We’re staying at the University of Toronto Residence. We’ll meet up with some more of our high school friends so we’re pretty excited about that. Good night everyone!
