Kitchener in November

Last month me, my mom, and Vicki went to Kitchener, Ontario to watch Skate Canada International, an ISU Grand Prix event. We lucked out and stayed at the same hotel as the skaters, which meant we saw them all the time. It was one of the highlights of the weekend. We lived at the Memorial Auditorium (The Aud) from Thursday to Sunday for the practices and competitions. We went to the Market on the Saturday and browsed the different restaurant places ... Moroccoan, Egyptian, German, etc. Yummy! The assortment of fruit and veggies were exceptional. It was another great weekend of viewing skaters and coaches, one of them being former Olympian Artur Dimitriev. It's funny how quickly the weekend flies by when the tickets and hotel were booked a year ago.
