Fifty Shades of Earl Grey tea

I have been fortunate during this trip to Ottawa to visit my former professor not once, but twice. Our first meeting was so enjoyable that he insisted that he see me again before I head back home.

On Friday, we met at a bakery located in ByWard Market. I love the place. I ordered an apple crumble pastry and a peppermint tea. He went with a millefeuille dessert and a cafe latte. We chatted for a bit before we had to go to his car to put more money into the metre.

You learn a lot about someone when you shop with him. My former professor loves cheese. He took me to a Polish grocery store and deli. I ended up getting a bag of perogies. He got some speciality ham.

Next door was a tea store. I am a tea fan. Luckily, he drinks tea, but he isn't as nuts as I can be. I did a bit of damage there, which shouldn't be a huge surprise.

We both noticed the Fifty Shades of Earl Grey jar of loose leaf tea.

He remarked that it is a movie. I remarked that it is also a book.

We didn't go any further. We continued to look at tea.

We are similar. We both love math and computer science. I am wondering whether he enjoys spanking as much as I do.

Hello from the nation's capital

Hello from Ottawa! My four-hour road trip went well. I am comfortable in my hotel, which is smack in the middle of the downtown core. I have tons of restaurants and nightlife around me, so all is well.

My guy wrote to me, to make sure that I had arrived safely. He is doing well. He signed off his e-mail with "grope you later." I love that.

I will write more when I am not sleepy!
