I played tour guide today and took my cousins visiting from out-of-town to do a little shopping in this great city. You know - the typical spots - Yorkdale and the Eaton Centre. I’ve lived away for 4 years so I have to admit I felt a little lost myself. But much like riding a bike, it all comes back once you get your bearings.

I’d forgotten about all those snazzy little shops along Queen St. Mind you, there were quite a few new upscale places I don’t remember ever seeing there before. I’ll have to spend some time reaquainting myself with Aritzia. Oops did I say that out loud?

Unfortunately, because of the dump of snow we got last night, the sidewalks were slushy and just one big mess. Not that snow is a freak of nature in Toronto or anything. Most of the passersby looked annoyed and just plain ready for Old Man Winter to go away. I have to say I’m a little weary of it myself. I’m ready for some warm sunshine and some leisurely walks on our Toronto streets.
