Just back from Toronto - the nuclear family (minus cfj of course) on our annual Thanksgiving holiday. Our long weekend destination has been Baltimore for a few years as cfj finished at Loyola but....2016, she's in Thailand and we're heading north.
Musings: There is definitely a European feel to Toronto and, altho subtle, it's very refreshing. Cities are made for walking or there is no point. I think I like the small florist shops every few blocks or so the most. The chandelier purveyors catch my eye every time too. How many can a city support? I wonder this time and again as we pass yet another charming coffee/bakery/cafe or vintage clothing retailer. All local merchants. Cannabis stores. (local? not sure on that?!). Assorted gated, hidden, painted, locked, half forgotten doors leading to the mysterious apartments occupying the upper floors of these pleasantly busy businesses that line mile after mile of Queen Street.
