Just went to the Keg - boring I know, but at least it wasn't Wendy's. We also didn't want to try to negotiate the City Centre at night when we had just gotten here. Tomorrow we will attempt to consume more regional fare.
So the flight here was remarkably uneventful, save for about twenty minutes of turbulence. We even landed when it was still light out, so I could check out the landscape (it's flat and rocky at the same time, and every single road is straight).
People here seem nice - nicer than Hamilton, at least. But anywhere near Toronto and you have to deal with that kind of people. It's not a Maritime atmosphere here, but it seems welcoming. Very glitzy. Very wealthy - money is practically oozing out of the soil - oh wait that's oil . . .
All my meetings are set for tomorrow. I see A.S., former head of the anthro department, at 11, then a quick pow-wow with P.S., grad co-ordinator, at noon. I may have an hour or so to catch my breath and a bite to eat and then I meet my prospective supervisor, K.Y., at 130. I have to remember to pass on some disregards from P.W. from yesterday (the two have worked together for nigh fifteen years - they just put out a new book).
This leaves us with all of Thursday to explore the city. Our flight isn't until 545, so we have plenty of time - some time tomorrow, too, of course.
I have taken a few pictures, but they're twilight ones and they're almost all blurry. I'll try to get some better ones for tomorrow.
Stay tuned . . .
