Today we stepped out to get baby formula because we extended our stay by a day and did not bring enough to make up the extra day. We could not get information from the main desk about a supermarket nearby, no matter how much we ask, we got back no information.
We went to the local Applebees for breakfast and asked the busboy about a local supermarket. He directed us to a grocery store by the name of "No Frills", which was just up the way.
90 minutes and 1 1/2 miles later we found a store that resembled a Walgreens to me. Oh yeah...we travelled uphill half the walk, so we were beat. I guess we should have mentioned we were walking because if we were driving it would have been just a little ways off.
We did manage to see Ontario beyond the local tourist areas. It looks the same as any other city, maybe a little more depressed but the same.
One other thing....it takes a little getting used to the currency. There are no One and Two Dollars Bills, they're in coins only. Mix that with the regular mix of coins: quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies and you end up with a pocket full of change real quick.
Anyways. We took the long walk back and stopped off at a Dairy Queen for a cold shake, it was pretty hot out. We felt kinda exhausted and drained. We looked forward to laying down on the bed and cooling off a bit.
We walked up to our hotel room and our key wouldn't work on the door, it was one of those card swiping locksets. It then dawned on me, we extended our stay by a day but we didn't have the extra day placed on the card so it timed out and locked us out of our room.
We corrected it easy enough but it took a little time and we were tired which made it pretty easy to be a little irritable. After a few minutes we were in our room and ready for an afternoon nap.
