Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Canada, eh

So I never posted about my last adventure of the summer?! Whoops. I went to Canada!

Mom and I drove through downstate and eventually made it to our relatives’ Algonac, a tiny town on the St. Clair River. After a night there we got a late breakfast in Port Huron..

then crossed the bridge into Canada! It was fun to use my (basic) French skills while there. After a few hours on the Queen Elizabeth Highway we made it to Niagara Falls!

There were SO MANY people. I went for a run the next morning and was one of the few people at the falls at 7:30 in the morning. That was pretty cool. Reasons I love running! Unfortunately the selfie I took is gone forever because I lost about a month’s worth of pictures when I broke my phone ?

We walked around the town and had dinner at Napoli.

We had a lovely brunch at our Bed and Breakfast.

And then we headed for Toronto! I wish I would’ve had more time there because it was such a neat city. First we explored the beautiful Casa Loma.

After that we got dinner at Fresh (so good!!!) and headed back for home. We made it back to the States and found a motel for the night. We did some shopping the next day, made a stop at Clyde’s after crossing the bridge, and finally were home.
