Day Two Hundred and Thirty-Five:  Toronto…

For the past two days I have been adventuring around Toronto with Ceara and we have come on some obstacles to say the least.  Here it goes:

After the train we went the wrong way to find even just the Eaton centre out of Union Station, and then after finding the eaton centre we found a pub to eat in but it wasn’t open.  Five thirty am starts make for a very long day, but a good one.  After eating, and then shopping for a bit through a very large alert system  in the mall we got to the hotel where we sat for a long time.  Loads of walking means blisters and headaches to an extreme, and then got ready for the evening.  After dinner at the Elephant and castle we headed to Russell, to the Sony Centre for the Arts, and Russell.  Russell.

When he came out on stage I knew we were there and so happy and he was in his WHITE suit jacket, leather pants and that Jesus hair, and it was he was there.  We made it.  After the show we buzzed home through the Yonge St Buskers Festival and spent the evening swooning, to say the least.  Those beds were heaven, and this morning as we woke and didn’t move I knew we would be there until the last moment to check out.  After a lovely breakfast we got lost for the billionth time and walked the entire way around Union and the construction that now blocks most of the doors until we found the busses, and after the longest trek back to Waterloo we made it, taking the thirty-five back to Eastbridge, home sweet home.

The past two days has taught us a lot about Toronto, and each other, and Russell, hotels, malls, shoes, and some interesting things about the people we encountered.  My favourite was that man who rolled his tongue and then waved on the opposite escalator to us…  Well, other than having Russell stand before me in the flesh.  If there’s one thing I really seriously took away from the past two days it is that I am so lucky to have such a compatible best friend who will put up with me but also who is innovative and fun.  I am so lucky to have stumbled upon those tickets, and those friggen beds.

We were in for one adventure, and there will definitely be more very soon.   Toronto however really needs better transportation/commuting, to decrease their construction that obstructs anything, and clean up a little.  It did give us Russell, who empathized with the audience on the cost of the CN tower trips.  Oh Russ, we know, do we know.
