Edmonton: Day 1

I recently finished my second year of University and had planned to go to make a quick trip to Edmonton with my girlfriend and her mom to get away and relax for a bit. No set plans were made in advance but to just hang out, shop lots and eat lots.

I woke up at around 4:30 this morning to begin getting ready to leave for 5:00, which extended to 5:30 because of the royal wedding. When we got into the city, we began with shopping at the South Edmonton Common to do some outlet shopping. We made stops at places such as Gap, Banana Republic, Nike, Adidas and Bath and Body Works just to name a few stores we visited. We also stopped at an Italian Coffee shop in the area, where I enjoyed a Birra Moretti. After I ate my very first authentic East Indian meal, which I must say was a good experience. I was especially fond of the meal because of the amount of spices, rice (typical) and food available.

After dinner we had a quick stop at West Edmonton Mall where we were able to quickly find some graduation heels for the girlfriend and some snacks at the TnT Supermarket. Other than that, I'm here at the Mayfield just explaining my day and watching Sports Center. Great first day, tomorrow should be even more fun!

Love the North,

Just a Taste: Cold Stone Creamery

Cold Stone Creamery has made its way up to Saskatoon quite recently. It shares a location downtown with the new Tim Horton's allowing the location to remain open for 24 hours. Cold Stone Creamery serves all sorts of treats, ice cream, smoothies, shakes, cakes and cupcakes just to name some items off their menu. I was pretty excited to try it out being told it was quite comparable to Marble Slab. I went with my girlfriend where we ordered "create your own" type of ice cream. We tried Coffee and Skor as well as French Vanilla and Oreo. To begin, the ice cream is very sweet. I heard from others that they were not able to finish a regular sized "like it" cup and I had the same problem. It wasn't because it was filling but it was because it was too sweet and the selection of ice cream. That being said, I wasn't too impressed with it after comparing it to Marble Slab, but I am more than willing to give it another chance. I will try something different next time I go.

Shad

This next Tuesday, we will be going to Shad at the Amigos. Tickets are at a reasonable price of $10. If you missed his last performance, here is another opportunity to catch him live.

50 Cups of Coffee

You can purchase tickets at either Momentum. Unfortunately I will not be attending, but most people say that 50 Cups events are a boat load of fun!

Surprise

I love when I order something, forget that I ordered it and then it comes in the mail and surprises me.This happened yesterday with my little order from Monacle. I received a bracelet, where proceeds were donated to Japan. Ever since the natural disasters in Japan, many clothing brands have been making limited shirts for the effort of helping Japan to both aid Japan and create a goodwill from the consumers point of view.

Nike SB: Janoski

Today I managed to grab a pair of Stefan Janoski's from Momentum Marketplace. As of now they are narrow and tight, but I know they stretch out nicely with the suede and leather especially. Once they are broken in nicely they will be ready to skate. I am really looking forward to using them and am quite excited over the shoes.
