Oops! I guess I ain't as sharp as I wish I was. I'll PM the address to you.

We are visiting Toronto now. This part of the trip is the most important for Wakana because it reunited her with a dear friend from college. Her friend is Bulgarian but she speaks Bulgarian, English, Japanese, a little Russian and, I think has some familiarity with at least two other languages. Her husband is an artist who works in stained glass. He showed us a portfolio of some of his work. It's good stuff.

Today we celebrated Canada's Thanksgiving Day. We were invited to join Wakana's friend's family for dinner with friends of theirs. These are people they've met through work here in Toronto. The husband is Nigerian and the wife is Ukrainian. They had friends in to join in for dinner. At one point there were three Nigerians, three Bulgarians, two Ukrainians, one Japanese, and one United Statesian (me) sitting around the table.

The Nigerians had been in the Ukraine for many years and had met their wives there. Two were recently arrived in Canada. They had moved from Nigeria to the Soviet Union to take advantage of the free education offered under a government program to spread communism to other countries. They were no fools. They knew what was 3expected of them but the education was free. One is a mechanical engineer and another is a medical technician.

One thing they learned in the Ukraine was how to drink vodka. The level on the Absolut bottle dropped quickly. They also had some Ukrainian wine that was quite sweet. Dinner was a combination of Canadian food and eastern European foods. Very tasty and lots of laughter around the table.

Next stop is the Getaway!
