Four Points By Sheraton Mississauga

... though.) We didn't have to wait in line for the tickets to Maid of the Mist, which was included. That was a bonus. We stopped to wander around the beautiful Niagara-on-the-Lake. And to top the day off, we went to a winery for some free wine tasting.

All in all, it was a good day.

... chauffeurs us to People's Church. (An awesome experience) After the service Brad again chauffeurs us to downtown Toronto, past Hy Park,to their favorite brunch restaurant and Dairy Cream; their favorite ice cream place.
the pictures show the remainder of action packed day.

Well, here we are on the plane. We ended up taking off an hour late, but not to the fault of the airline. Traffic on the Chicago expressways made the crew late, but they ran their safety check in abbreviated time and we started boarding shortly after. We pulled away from the gate about 10 minutes late, but then got held up on the tarmac for 40 minutes more waiting for a brief, but HUGE, storm to roll through. At this time, the 'Moving Map' on our Touch Screen Video System shows that ...

... in CANADA. Everything is Metric here! This is $1.15/liter or litre as they say here. Well at least we made the right choice in filling up in the states. After this realization we headed into the city of Toronto, ON. It was a beautiful day outside and provided for some great pictures of the skyline. We got into the city around 3pm and our first stop was to get a hotel room for the night. After that was settled we went into town to see the CN Tower. We ...

... Anyway, after a petit dejeuner of croissants and jam, I promptly find what look like worms in my tea. Tea that I already had a cup of and now it is too late. We sit down to brainstorm and come up with new ways to fix a failing and increasingly irrelevant (in the eyes of the majority) organization. This past summer, we had gone through "Transformation". A nice term for downsizing ...

Not much to add here except to say that I thoroughly enjoying the executive class treatment with Air Canada. Having my favourite beer, Alexander Keiths, for the last time in a while. Here's hoping they sell it in South America! (doubtful)So far the trip is going smoothly and I can only hope it stays that way through to the end.

Humber bay park is a nice place to have a walk during the week-end. I have been there in april but I guess it is different in summer at which time people can swim in Ontari lake.

Humber bay is located in the west-south part of Toronto, after Hight park (close to Kings Mill or Jane Subway station). If you like walking you can for example start at Bloot st. west and Jane st. and walk through Etienne Brule then Kings Mill park to go in Humber bay park. It take maybe 1:30/2:00 ...

... cookies, gingerbread cake and bagels since I've been here a week! I haven't really done any hanging out as I've been here without phone/internet. Saw Ben a couple times cuz I was in his basement and Carla and I went out to an expensive home movie screening (part of the Hart House Film Fest.) Jonathan Pollard screened some amazing stuff as usual including a SOUND super 8 of an African Canadian wedding from the '70's. The photographer was the father and he was making comments ...

... will try to put the best ones here. I have also set-up a site that will have all my pictures, they can be found at www.ofoto.com. I will send out the password in an email. I might become camera-happy, and unfortunately I may not have any time to sort my photos, so there may be quite a few on the site. Well this is my last day in Canada before my ...
