Pistachio gelato in TO…

Food, Gelato, Italian, photography, Toronto, Travel

Another new Italian café has opened in TO and it’s called Sud Forno Queen, on Queen Street W. It is part of the Terroni restaurants. Very nice staff but very confusing service. I had to try their pistachio gelato and I am sorry to say it was no match to THE best pistachio gelato I had in Corniglia, Italy. Sigh, on to the next gelato place… 🙂

A squirrel and a cone…

Once upon a time in April 2016 there was a squirrel with a cone and a human with a cell phone camera, or so the story goes. Caught this hungry soul so focused on the ice cream cone, I could have bopped it on it’s nose and it would not have noticed!!

Fall is here again!!!

Fall, Nature, Toronto

I think this has been the best Fall in ages! It started slowly and has hung around unlike previous years. And the colours are just amazing. Didn’t have to go far to see them either. I am glad we get to experience and enjoy the four seasons every year.

The famous Cherry Blossom Way, which will be bursting with those gorgeous flowers in a few months. 🙂 Right now it is bursting with Fall colours! Lovely!

A Sign of the times – TORONTO!

Love Home, Toronto

Suddenly TO was cool! Toronto sign created for the Pan Am and Para Pan Am games at City Hall.

No, I don’t know the smiling O soul. It was hard getting a clear shot of the sign without someone being in the frame.

Sleek dustbin!

CN Tower, La Tour CN

This tower is my favourite building in this city. I have not been able to figure out why. It just is. Yesterday I paid a long overdue visit. 🙂 A perfect fall day, a 2 hour walk to get to the Tower and then joy!

Standing on the famous CN Tower Glass Floor. I have stood on this so many times now, that there is no feeling of fear. That and knowing we are in Canada and the testing to ensure it is safe will be in place everyday. 🙂 The first time though, I did freak out like every first timer who tries.

Looking down at the new kid in town…..

   Now that there are other much taller buildings on the planet, the CN Tower came up this attraction in 2011 – EdgeWalk!! It is a heart stopping, mind blowing and totally awesome experience. A classic bucket list-er. Here is my favourite YouTube video from when this attraction opened  – Rick Mercer and Jann Arden trying the the EdgeWalk.  Priceless!!

A group of brave souls doing the “Toes over Toronto” part of the walk yesterday.. and then the turn your back and “Butt over the city” (don’t recall what the official name is) part…
That’s me on the EdgeWalk. Luckily it was a cloudy day for most part, but there were moments of clarity – both for the weather and for me wondering what I had just signed myself and my family for!! I still have the hope to try the walk on a clear sunny day….

An inside joke!
