This weekend, amidst the cold, the snow and the Christmas parties, we set off along a new extension to Toronto's subway system to step back in time at the Black Creek Pioneer Village.

We spent Canadian Thanksgiving weekend in the United States without turkey dinner, so not our typical Thanksgiving! Despite that, we had lots of fun exploring Chicago and enjoying the warm weather  This past weekend we were back in Newfoundland, mostly for the wedding of our best buddies Rebecca and Piers, but also to hang out with family for Thanksgiving festivities. We also managed to make a trip to The Rooms museum on Sunday, to see their latest exhibit commemorating the 100th anniversary of the massacre at Beaumont-Hamel during the First World War.  The Rooms. After a busy day of lines and rollercoasters at Canada’s Wonderland on Saturday, we went for a leisurely walking tour on Sunday afternoon with the ROM to learn a bit more about the city we live in. Along the way we discovered just how much history can be crammed into a small neighbourhood over the span of a couple hundred years.  Our tour group. This last weekend was the first in a while that we didn't have anything planned, so at the last minute we booked some train tickets to take us up to Ottawa! Arriving on Friday evening, we enjoyed sampling the sights of the nation's capital (aka Elizabeth's birthplace).  Parliament Hill overlooking the Ottawa River. We had another busy weekend with Elizabeth's family, scavenging for clues around U of T after dark and exploring the beauty that is High Park!  Looking for clues during our Haunted Toronto scavenger hunt After a couple of fun days in Hong Kong, we set off for our next Asian city, Taipei! Although it rained on us almost every day and we had a few mishaps along the way, it's home to some of the friendliest people, and this city definitely has a special place in our hearts.  View from Taipei 101 Our brand new ROM membership gave us free access to the Textile Museum of Canada this weekend, so we dropped by to learn about this unique museum and ended up joining in on a quick tour!  Home Economics: 150 years of Canadian hooked rugs On Saturday we took a short walk from our apartment to visit the Royal Ontario Museum and check out the latest exhibits!  The Royal Ontario Museum's new (ish) facade. During the second half of our week back in the UK we set out on a couple of day trips to visit family and take in some sights in Wales and Salisbury!
