La Place located at 194 Avenue de Choisy 75013 Paris, France
For our final meal in Paris, France before we flew out the next day, we dined at a truly authentic French restaurant called La Place, on recommendation from the tour guide.
We quickly went in since our free time for dinner was limited (we had a guided city tour scheduled later that night around the city). La Place had a dining lounge both inside and outside where their glassed-in outdoor patio was divided into a smoking and non-smoking section. Continue reading
Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. April 2016
On our last full day in Paris, we visited the Arc de Triomphe. A visit to this famous monument wouldn’t be complete without a jumping photo. What made it even more fun was that we all did it together and the tour guide joined in too! Looking at each screen of this photo that led to the pinnacle of this jumping photo made me smile because this was so fun. Continue reading

August 2016 cleanup at Cherry Beach located at 1 Cherry Street in Toronto
It’s that time of the year again! Another chance to clean up the Canadian shoreline! 🙂 Cleanups should be done regularly throughout the year so that there is less litter buildup and so that we can ensure that the wildlife doesn’t ingest any when mistaking it for garbage as well as preventing as much of it as we can from entering our waterways… but I digress. 😛 Continue reading

The Fat Beet located at 7330 Yonge Street in Thornhill
Thanks again to social media, I was educated of a new restaurant that has high reviews and been recommended to try. The Fat Beet can be considered a vegetarian restaurant based on the number of vegetarian dishes they have on their menu (and also, its name highly suggests a vegetable-serving restaurant). However, they actually do have some meat and fish dishes on their menu which negates my initial understanding that they were purely a vegetarian restaurant. Continue reading

The Boiling Harbour is a seafood boil restaurant located at 3175 Rutherford Road in Vaughan at the Vaughan Mills Plaza. (It’s tucked away in a little corner so when you arrive in, look for Marcello’s which is right beside it.)
The Boiling Harbour opens today (August 6, 2016)! Continue reading
