En Route

I’m writing this from a motorcoach en route to Montreal. We stopped in Niagra Falls for lunch and to catch the beautiful view of what we dubbed a “God-made and man-tweaked” wonder.

We ate at Pizza Pizza, whose tagline claims that it’s Ontario’s best pizza. Having not sampled all of Ontario’s pizzerias I can’t be sure, but darn tasty indeed.

I had a slice of “super,” or what we’d call deluxe in the States. I’d describe the quality as being a slice above Sbarro. I was very impressed.

For dinner I had a turkey bacon from Tim Horton’s, and then a cup of the best coffee I’ve had in quite a while. Delicious. Now another hour and a half on the bus til we reach our hotel.

More detailed blogging (and even photos!) when I’m at a desk with my laptop instead of on a bus with my iPod.

Countdown.

On Monday I’ll be boarding a bus to take Tri-C West’s production of Don’t Count Your Chickens Before They Cry Wolf to beautiful Montreal.

The itinerary contains the phrase “French restaurant” and the word “bistro” several times so I suspect there will be plenty of blog fodder north of the border.

I’ll be taking my camera with me as well as my laptop, so there should be plenty of pictures in the blog as well.

Hopefully the hotel has wi-fi.

Catawba? I don’t even know ‘a!

I rather enjoy wine, but I know squat about it. I’m mostly a white Zinfandel guy, and I occasionally find other things I enjoy. I usually joke that I have all the discerning tastes of a six year old when it comes to wine.

Tonight I had a lovely dinner with my girlfriend and two of her friends, and for it I found a white Catawba from a local winery called Mon Ami.

Very inexpensive at around $7.00 a bottle, and doesn’t taste (to me, anyway) like a cheap wine. On the sweet end of the spectrum, and gives a nice warmth in the nose (I’m sure that has a piece of terminology associated with it, but like I said, I know jack about wine.)

Anyway, delicious!

We also had tortellini in tomato sauce and French bread. Fantastic meal.

And now for something completely different! I am now the proud owner of a new iPod Touch, so finding a blog subject and forgetting it by the time I get home should be a thing of the past! Updates to follow…
