After reading your comment I checked the dinstance from NYC to Toronto. I didn't realize New York State extended to the Canadian border and that Toronto is just on the other end of it on the Ontario Lake. As seen on the map, they're not so far as I could think. Still, I wouldn't talk about a 500 miles drive or two hour flight as a short trip, especially in my European mindset. You know, two hour flight is like flying from Italy to the UK. We aren't used to long distances. Anyhow, I'm also sad I haven't had yet the opportunity to come there and spend some time with you, and enjoying whatever you like me to visit and taste. In the last few months I traveled a lot for work, to the point I'm starting to feel the need to stay at home for at least some consecutive weeks. Lots of fun and things I'm going to remember forever, granted, but after a while you risk to get burned out. Hell, I don't even know what happened in my country lately. Too much work, everything else is OK. And you, how is it going? Have you found a teaching job? Is the Toronto already under snow? Hello Jessica! After reading your comment I checked the dinstance from NYC to Toronto.
