Toronto: This & That

Canadian National Exhibition

Tomorrow (or today if you're on the other side of the pond) marks my third month in Toronto. One quarter of a year and the time has just flown. I was a bit dubious when I first arrived but I feel like I've settled in a good bit more now. Now that I have a comforting care package full of Barrys and Cadbury's courtesy of my mother and sister and I have discovered a shop where I can stock up on Club Orange once or twice a month. No matter where I roam it's always nice to have the little comforts from home.

Toronto Islands

I have ventured out to the islands twice now. Once alone and again yesterday with a friend. On the first day it was overcast and I still managed to get burned to a crisp. Yesterday was gorgeous so I plastered on the factor 50 and only managed to burn my scalp which, I suppose, was an improvement. I do, of course, have a sun hat which I very wisely left at home. Maybe some day I'll learn but yesterday was apparently not that day.
