Toronto!

We arrived in Toronto yesterday, early on in the afternoon. My little brother owns this nice condo downtown, so he let us crash there during our stay in the big city. Once we had ourselves settled at the apartment, Sharon and I went out in search of food, because both of us were starving by the time we arrived.

BTW if you are travelling out of Edmonton, don't go to Montana's for breakfast. Don't get me wrong, the service was good but the portions were tiny for the price you paid. Total waste anyways! Rest of their menu is usually pretty good!

Kev (my bro) lives pretty close to St. Lawrence Market. This is a huge building filled with various craft and food vendors. We decided to have some crepes when were there and did some walking around the market. Sharon and I really enjoy browsing through venues like this because they are pretty unique.

We then had a tour of Kev's building, which I must say is really quite posh! It has some great facilities in the building for its residents and the terraces on the upper floors provide some great views of downtown, and the lake. After that we needed some down time so we hung out in the apartment for a bit while waiting for our friends Todd, Tanya, and Cale (formerly of Cold Lake) to meet up with for supper at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Kev and Sonja, my brother's girlfriend, joined us a little later. It was great to catch up with Todd and Tanya, I know we miss them back in Cold Lake.

As an added bonus, I was able to visit with Ania and her son Nico, and Helen Siemaszko, both of whom I haven't seen in a while. Tracy Lundstrom McKenna also came into the city for a visit and a drink with Kevin, Sharon and myself. Thanks to everyone who made that special effort to come and see us. Hopefully we will be able to spend more time with everyone in the future.
