Sun­rise at Toronto Airport

Hello home. Hello cold.

After a long flight from Buenos Aires, we arrived in Toronto early morn­ing. We took the air­port bus to down­town, jumped on a Grey­hound bus, and arrived in Ottawa a few hours later. It had been a while.

It wasn’t that cold, and there weren’t too much snow on the ground. The city hasn’t changed… I guess it never really does. It’s both com­fort­able and slightly dis­turb­ing to slip into our old lives, like noth­ing happened.

We spent the last few days see­ing friends, emp­ty­ing our back­packs and doing some laun­dry (which doesn’t dry that well con­sid­er­ing it’s 0ºC out­side). I stopped by at work and got talked into work­ing full-time next week. Eh, why not… although I’m not dying to take the early morn­ing bus, once again.

My cit­i­zen­ship appli­ca­tion has finally been approved, and it will appar­ently take another 12 to 15 months for the exam and the cer­e­mony. I’m not in a hurry… but I’m glad to know it’s being processed. I also received my TOEFL exam result, and I scored 115/120. That was a good surprise.

I spent the last cou­ple of days try­ing to tweak my Word­Press theme, since it had been dis­con­tin­ued. Well, after a headache and two days of tri­als, I reverted back to the old theme. I don’t care if it’s dis­con­tin­ued, I’m keep­ing it. I got nowhere even close to what I wanted with the new themes, no mat­ter how geeky and improved they look.

I’m 26 years old today. I looked for new wrin­kles but we are still very tan, and I couldn’t spot one. Who cares any­way. I want to keep on trav­el­ing, keep on see­ing the world, keep on writ­ing, keep on tak­ing pic­tures. I want to keep on learn­ing more and more.

Here we are, in Canada, once again. And leav­ing soon… for a trip to France in 10 days.
