We had a great time on our trip to Canada and Cleveland. We left on Tuesday, June 30 and drove all night, arriving at Windsor, Canada (just across the border in Detroit) and met up with Silvija and Gorazd. Silvija and the rest of the band were in a parade celebrating Canada Day. After the parade, we went to the local Slovene lodge for lunch, dancing, and listening to the band. In the early evening, we headed to Toronto. On Thursday, we walked around Toronto and ended the day with a swim in the hotel pool. On Friday around noon, we said good-bye to Silvija and Gorazd and headed to Niagara Falls. We stopped at a great little town close to the falls, named Niagara on the Lake. There were adorable, little shops and gallaries. We even watched a wedding in the park next to the lake. Friday evening, we headed to Cleveland. On Saturday morning, we met up with Tadeja, Luka, and Matej. We enjoyed the afternoon at the Slovene Pristava, then had dinner with them before hitting the road that evening back to Kansas. All in all, it was a great, great trip. The kids were real troopers in the car and we were so happy that Star Ata joined us for our travels. Additionally, we were blessed to see dear friends from Slovenia and make some new ones along the way!
