the world through my eyes…

Hidden just off Victoria and Bridge St., is a fabulous Italian fruit and vegetable market called LoCoCo’s.  Surprisingly enough, this market has been in business in Niagara since 1906!  They sell all kinds of super fresh fruits and vegetables in a somewhat cool room, authentic Italian breads (not the kind you buy at grocery store chains), and fresh meats.

There’s something very satisfying about walking to a local, family run market and buying produce that’s so fresh.  Eating it is like Christmas for my taste buds. 

I was holding off on seeing the movie, as I just wasn’t sure if I wanted to go or not.   But last night Mich wanted to go, so I said I’d go see it with her.  I have to say, the movie was fantastic!  I had heard that Heath Ledgers performance was a bit scary, so naturally I was curious…

Although I didn’t find him to be creepy or scary, the madness of the Joker character was very apparent!  However he did it, he did it well.  I can now understand some of the rumours about how this particular character may have contributed to his death.

Although I’m not a huge comic book fan, I was still familiar enough with the basic story of batman to know what should happen, and the movie did not disappoint.  I can only assume that there will be a third one, as the connection between this one and the classic batman movie with Michael Keaton is not really there just yet.

I would definitely recommend it!

I'm seeing a very different side of Niagara that I'm not use to.  I was always familar with the tourist side.  Strolling up and down Clifton Hill is like walking the strip in Vegas, except there is only 1 casino and ... [Continue reading this entry]

For the last few days I have refused to accept that my iPod of GONE!  I had it when I checked in, as I had stashed it under my pillow when I went out of my room.  I was there ... [Continue reading this entry]

I have never wanted it to rain so badly in all my life.  The heat today mixed with the humidity is intense.  I feel as though I've sweated of 10lbs already.  However, this is Niagara in the summer time, so ... [Continue reading this entry]

This morning was spent getting the housekeeping routine down, as I'm covering for the regular girl.  This is the deal, I cover her days off and I don't have to pay to stay at ... [Continue reading this entry]

So last night was my first night in Niagara Falls.  Michelle wanted to go to the bar, so I said why not.  Apparently she was in charge of the hostel tour, which meant taking guests with us.  As we left the ... [Continue reading this entry]

I can’t help but wonder when reality will kick in and I’ll realize that I’m gone for the next 10- 12 mths.  It still doesn’t feel real to me.  Even saying goodbye to ... [Continue reading this entry]
