Little Monster, Big City
We spent the Easter long weekend in NYC. B had a few things to do in the Big Apple. Maggie and I joined for the ride. After checking into our hotel, we visited a few shops in SoHo and had a late lunch at Sadelle's. The bagel tower was very decadent!
The Raptors are in the playoffs so we watched the game before dinner. As you can see, Maggie controlled the remote!
We spent a decent amount of time in Central Park the next day. The weather was in the high 20s.
Maggie studied with B on a park bench.
She was also being silly, photo bombing!
On our last day, I took Maggie to visit my old stomping grounds. I did an internship at the UN several years ago.
We then ate, ate, and ate some more. Our first stop was Tim Ho Wan. In 2014, Maggie went to the original location with Colin in Hong Kong.
We ended up going to a bunch of places, including Baohaus. Maggie liked the names of the bao. On the left is the Uncle Jesse Bao, and on the right is the Chairman Bao.

All of the Lights
Maggie braved the wind earlier this evening to check out the Toronto Light Festival. There were 21 installations from around the world. This one was very popular. Doesn't Maggie look angelic?

Havana Continued
The weather was better than expected while we were in Havana. It was supposed to rain a few days, but never did. One day was particularly warm and sunny so we dropped everything and went to a local beach.
As you can see, Clem and Dumbo were very relaxed!
We spent our remaining days exploring other districts in Havana, including Central Havana. They have a Chinatown there, but we didn't really see anything that was authentically Chinese.
We brought home coffee, rum, and cigars. We're saving these Cohibas for a special occasion!

Hola Havana!
Clem and Dumbo had a terrific vacation in Havana! Here are a few snaps from their trip.
We woke up early to catch our flight. Dumbo napped while Clem watched luggage being loaded onto our plane.
We stayed in a casa particular, which was a great alternative to a hotel. Our host was friendly although we didn't know much Spanish and she didn't know much English. Our room was simple but had everything we needed, and was very clean. Clem and Dumbo enjoyed basking in the sun when we first settled in.
On the day we arrived, B and I did a 4-hour bike tour. We had the friends with us the whole time, but opted to keep them clean in our backpack. We were sticky from the heat and did cycle through some wet areas.
Clem and Dumbo spent the next day exploring Old Havana. They went to the famous squares, such as the one above...
...and this one. They thought the architecture was pretty cool.
Clem and Dumbo wanted to dine like locals so we tried lots of mom and pop places. The food in Havana is nothing to write home about. There's not a lot of variety, but the portions are large and cheap.
We didn't take as many photos as we usually do while travelling but a few more to come of Clem and Dumbo!

Name that City
Clementine and Dumbo escaped the winter blues and headed down south for a few days. Do you know where they are?

Declutter Challenge
Q is helping me with a declutter challenge. Every day this month we are getting rid of more and more items. It was one item on day one, two items on day two, and so on. By the end of January, we will recycle, give away, donate, or throw away 465 items in total! We are a little behind (half way through day 19). Wish us luck!
