So I have traveled many times across the boarder into the land of taco bell.... but this time it struck me as funny how different Canadians are from Americans.
For example I was walking through the airport and this big business man comes bustling up behind be dragging a large wheely bag, with a briefcase attached to it sticking out in such an angle as to bite the ankles of anyone standing within 4 feet of the guy. So as he drags the pile of luggage past, elbowing me in the arm causing my Starbucks to leap out the top of my cup burning my hand and the brief case thing hitting me in the Achilles sending pain up my leg.... what do I do?
I apologize to the big oaf!
yes I'm sorry I was walking along minding my own business
I'm sorry I was actually on time for my flight with the appropriate amount and size of carry on luggage
I'm sorry I was early enough to be walking at a casual pace from the Starbucks on my way to pick out an airplane book.
Yes I'm sorry you don't have manners! Seriously some peoples kids!
I love the average Americans love for food!
Yes there is a fair amount of veggie loving leather shunning smoothie guzzling residents but there are also the kitchen chemists who come up with creations like the "phatty" burger... yep its a bacon cheeseburger nestled between two grilled cheese sandwiches (I am definitely trying it next time) if you are just a little bit curious about the rest of the menu you can find it at http://burgeraptos.com if you find yourself in Santa Cruz California or in sweet little Aptos California I highly recommend swinging by if not for the awesome ambiance but for the delicious burgers (beef, salmon, turkey, chicken, pork belly and yes even veggie) and sweet potato fries, tator tots or classic fries all served in a paper-lined bread pan! Yes quirky and wonderful.
I was trying to think of anywhere in my town that has something like that to offer and honestly I can't think of a single place...
Maybe that is my mission for this Canadian broad... to be a tourist in my own town...
Hey no passport required
