My Faith in Canada has Been Renewed!

I'm currently sitting on the floor of the Toronto airport, checking my email, and picking all of the gross raisins out of my trail mix. One or more of the above must be culturally inappropriate because I'm getting some angry French glares. I'll assume it's the sitting on the floor. BUT I have a new appreciation for the country, or at least the city, due to their free wi-fi! I <3 Canada (that's for you, Elliot).

Today has been a bit of a whirlwind and it's only 2:00! My flight from Philly to Toronto was rather enjoyable, with a personal t.v. and everything! I got here around 11:30 and then went on to confuse the crap out of people for 2 hours. Even though my flight is to Brussels, it's considered domestic because we stop in Montreal. This confusing bit of information resulted in a lost bag and a lost me for quite a while. But both have been found, as you can probably tell.

So I fly out of here at 5:00 to arrive in Brussels at 8:35 am. I get to spend the day exploring the city (I'll let you know how that goes ...) and then I head towards Uganda around 10 am Saturday. I should get into Entebbe at 9:45 pm at which point I'll meet the other girls (Crystal, Anna, Gabbi) at Backpacker's Hostel in Kampala! We're taking a bus to Gulu on Sunday and starting work at HAU on Monday. My life is baller, obviously.

Anybody has suggestions for things to do in Brussels? My to-do list currently consists of 1. eat a Belgian waffle (courtesy of Anna) and 2. don't get lost (courtesy of my impressive ability to get lost). I'd consider 1 out of 2 a success at this point.

I should probably go find where my gate is, because the one I was sent to appears to be heading to Ontario at 5:00. Uh oh.
