Toronto blog entry #1


okay, Helen, you were right about being able to find out about my travels this way. ^_^ the weather here in Toronto is humid, but for the moment, not unbearable, though they say that if you factor in the humidity, today's high is supposed to be 34 (and 36 tomorrow). oh well, weather is weather, and if you are on vacation, you don't want to waste a minute and see one less thing, so it doesn't really matter as long as you dress for it.

got in around midnight last night, and was greeted by two of my three Toronto cousins, John and Annette. we took the 407 (the only paid freeway, apparently) back to their place in Richmond Hill, where i also chatted with my aunt, uncle and parents before sleeping. this morning i met up with Tina, my long-time friend from junior high, for a walk around Unionville in Markham. it's a quaint, picturesque European-style area with lots of flowers (both hanging and in pots), little boutiques and eateries, and also a trail going off into a bit of woods that also has tall grasses and cattail-like growths that i've never seen before. we had brunch at a Viennese cafe, on the patio and under a nice little *green* umbrella. i enjoyed all the catching up chat about careers, travel, family etc., and the joys of friendship over all these years. now i'm home with my uncle and aunt, waiting for John to get off work to see where we'll go next :)
