O Canada!

just got back from toronto. i'm tired, but i guess i had a pretty good time. got to see niagara falls for the first time. i guess they're pretty big, but for some reason i thought they'd be even bigger. and i sorta thought they'd be out in the middle of nowhere, like yosemite, but there's like city all around it.
there was an imax theater, too, showing this cheesy movie about niagara falls that was made back in 1987. in the movie, they say there's a legend that there was a native american girl that went over the falls in a canoe because she didn't want to marry this ugly man, and they called her the maid of the mist. i tried searching on the internet to find out who played the maid of the mist in this movie, but i couldn't find it. i wonder if she went on to greater things in her acting career. maybe she went into porn. it seemed like she had two pretty big floatation devices, though her authentic looking native american garb might have made it seem that way more than they really were. anyway...
there was a casino next to niagara falls, and we had dinner at the buffet there, which looked huuuuuge when i walked in. so i was pretty excited about eating there... but once i made my first round i realized it was actually a lot smaller than it had seemed, and the food was pretty mediocre. we had to stay at the casino until 10, so i played some roulette and some coin slot machine. i think that because canadian money looks so much like play money, it's easier to lose. yes, that must have been it.
oh, and i also learned what a "cougar" is. man, canadians sure are funny.
