Monster's International Adventure

This is VERY off topic, but I thought Id share.

I suprised the wife last wednesday and we took off for Niagara Falls for a couple days.

#1. I feel sorry for you Canadian's! God damn, talk about TAXES! Holy shit! 7% pst and 8% gst?

#2. taxes aside, the price of stuff is outrageous, even outside tourist areas.

So anyway...

Great time, did EVERYTHING you could do, from cheesy wax museums, to Maids of the Mist, to the Aero car... tours... restuarants... bars...

Ended up not wanting to leave and staying a 3rd night. Went to the American side and had fun at the various Memorial day hoo haas, and decided to stay ANOTHER night.
Went into to Buffalo the last day for shopping (nothing like a mall Ive never been to [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] ).

Anything resembling a diet is now a distant memory, but I came out of it pretty well all in all. No fat loss, but no muscle loss (that Ive noticed yet). Mabye the crazy calorie fluxes were beneficial.

Off the top of my head, here's a rough estimate of what I ate...

*10-12 chocolate chip cookies (big homemade type)
*8+ pints of Guiness
*2 bags of chips
*2 hamburgers (Hard Rock Cafe)
*big giant steak (at the rotating tower thingy)
*fudge... lots of fudge.
*3 pieces of cheesecake (1 turtle, 2 strawberry)
*big barbequed chicken and potatoes (vegetables? BAH!)
*3 Boston creme donts
*varies colas (coke, pepsi... none of that diet stuff either)
*2 "Electric Kool-Aid's"
*1 cuban cigar (Cohiba)
*3 trips to the Golden Griddle breakfast bar, consisting of so much food I cant even remember
*assorted bagels and creme cheeses

Well, I just wanted to share my joy and gastronomical decedance with you all. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

But its good to be home!

I have to admit I do the same thing. When I go on vacation so does my diet. However, that is more than I could stray in a month let alone 3 days. I'm glad to hear you had a good time.

Its rough! My body isnt used to that kind/quantity of food, and my bowels protested the first day.
My stomach made noises that were audible two blocks away! Now Im not much of a public restroom guy (for #2's... I dont like having my butt where some big sweaty lard ass just sat) but I was using them with no second though. Im just now getting the old GI back in some semblance of order...
