Toronto Part 2

Back in Toronto for Christmas. The weather has been crazy mild this year. I was really hoping for a white Christmas but that wasn't going to happen for sure. A lot of things happened so I just have to summarize quickly.

Spent a lot of time with family at first. I really have to thank Simon for helping me out and driving me around everywhere. We even had a trip to the beaches to drop of a present for Janice. That was really weird since we were outside this guy's family's house forever trying to decide if we should go in through the unlocked door to confirm their identity (no one was home) or go bother a neighbour. We ended up going to their neighbour who wanted us to go away fearing we were trying to sell her things but we quickly blurted out our intent and she told us that the family went to a house party across the street. I heard through Janice later that they actually did recieve their present.

While my parents were still here I went to check out their new apartment condo out by Yonge and Sheppard. Pretty much right beside my cousin's apartment.

I met up with Rick down at Go for Tea. That tea house is doing really well judging by the amount of people waiting by the door. Ten Ren opened up a few more shops with some equally long wait times.

Jesse and Alison were nice enough to invite us over to their new apartment down in Sauga. They were renovating for a while and I'm pretty happy I got to see most of it before I left. The colours are really different and they really make the place look modern. I personally love their new place, it feels like it came out of a catalog. Jessie prepared a terrific dinner for us and we chilled there talking for quite a long time. Best of luck to them and I promised not to share the photos until they shared it first with their families.
