Day 86

The woman I love, again. I accidentally had the wrong setting on my camera, so her cheeks are a little red, but it's cute.

This photo was taken in Toronto, in the distillery district. I loved it there. You basically just had to point your camera in any direction and you'd get a good shot. That doesn't say much for my skill level. I may be exaggerating a bit. Seriously, though, it was a great place for photos.

I suppose I'll leave it at that. Thanks for reading. Take care.

Day 78

Today I spent a few hours at the Distillery, which is not a Distillery anymore, and has been/is being rejuvenated into a thriving restaurant/shopping district. It's an amazing place to look at. I was a bit shy at first to walk around taking pictures, but eventually got my nerve up. Unfortunately, by the time I did, I didn't have much time left. I'm going back before we go back home. So many things to take photos of.

The photo above are of some bikes at the back of a coffee shop. I think it's ok.

Tomorrow I think I'll check out Dundas Square. From what I've read it's basically Toronto's version of Time Square in New York. We'll see what it brings!

That's it, I think, for today. Take care.

Day 69 - Toronto

We landed in Toronto a couple hours ago, and I immediately started feeling better than everyone else. ;)

The flight here was uneventful, and and I had to pee real bad by the end. It was either "keep your seat belts fastened", or the restrooms were busy, so neither of us used it for the duration of the flight...which isn't super long, but us being a pregnant lady and a guy who had too much to drink during the flight, it made for a real satisfying pee at the airport.

Our room is quaint. It seems clean, which is a bonus. Free wireless internet is also a bonus. We're not at a hotel. We're at the college where Jenn's course is. Basically we're staying in the dorm, which was at one time a hotel. It's 2am here and I can hear people in the hall way, but it's not too loud. Brings me back to my Briercrest dorm days. That was a long time ago.

I don't know what I'm going to do for two weeks. Tomorrow I'll probably stick around here, to see how Jenn's first day goes. After that, throughout the week I'll venture out here or there. Weirdly enough, I want to see Toronto's main library. I don't know if it's a fancy old library like some big cities. We'll see. I just realized now that they probably have dozens, if not more in a city this size. Down town is somewhere I want to go see. The CBC building is another place I want to tour. Lots of stuff to see, most likely.

This might be a good experience. I hope it isn't a struggle, being away. I'm remembering the times I used to take the subway into Seoul, and get "lost" by myself for the day, in the markets, downtown, where ever. I don't know what Toronto's transit system is like. I hope it's decent. Seoul's metro subway was insanely easy, and made traveling around that city fun and simple.

Well, I've been rambling. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for reading. Take care.

Day 64

I honestly don't know what to tell you today. I went swimming tonight with Jenn and a friend from church. It helped me feel better. Thankfully the roughest part of my day was in the afternoon so Jenn didn't have to experience the worst of it.

For the most part, I'm looking forward to our Toronto trip.

Tomorrow, we have our first dr's appointment, and will hopefully be able to hear the baby's heart beat. I really really hope it's not too early to hear it.

I think the baby starts hearing fairly soon. That will be fun.

I can't wait to meet the little one already. On one hand, I wish human gestation was the same as dogs (about 3 months). On the other hand, this world would probably be in trouble if that were the case. That's hardly enough time to think about what you've done. I suppose 9+ months is a good chunk of time to prepare mentally and materially.

Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading.

Day 61

Today, for the most part, was a good day. It was one of those Saturdays that felt long, but in a good way. Usually Saturdays go by way too fast. Today wasn't without it's frustrations, though. What day isn't, I suppose.

We leave for Toronto in a week tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I think Jenn is a bit nervous, but it'll turn out good. We've both flown before, but not together. During the week, Jenn will have class by day, and I'll go out and see stuff, take photos, etc. It doesn't seem fair, but she wants me to come along for support. I think we may go see Niagara Falls, and some other Toronto tourism spots while we're there.

I have nothing to talk about today, really. Sorry.

Thanks for reading anyway, though!

Day 57

Lent starts March 9th, or Ash Wednesday. I'm giving up something, and also trying to live healthier. That won't be hard, considering that I haven't been living a healthy life at all, really.

I went aquacising tonight again with my wife. I really enjoy it. It lifts my spirits for a couple hours, which is really nice.

We leave for Toronto next week. I need to figure out where the good photo spots are in the city. I'm hoping to get some good street stuff, but we'll see. I think it's a mix of planning, skill, and luck. Considering that I'm just there for a couple of weeks, and don't know much about the city, and my skill is developing, I'm probably going to rely mostly on luck this time around. Looking forward to that.

Well, that's it for today. Thanks, and take care.
