Toronto July - October 2013

Building I lived in on Queen St (shown on map above)

The loft

First time seeing the place. That suitcase was all I brought except for my car and bike

Ai Weiwei exhibition. Incredible art and sculpture, etc, went back twice

House-made Sausage pizza also from Pizzeria Libretto. Seriously good pizza

Bought a sax in Toronto

This is everything I brought for the 3 month trip. I got rid of all clothes I didn't need/wear

Cousins

Closeup of the best macaron I've ever had

This is from the same place as the macaron - a fig and goat cheese sandwich on an insanely good croissant. The chocolate almond croissant from Nadege was also BY FAR the best croissant I've ever had. I think it had almond paste or something similar baked inside...mmm! No picture of that because there was no time for pictures before eating

Bathroom 1 at the loft in Toronto 

With my cousins (in makeup after their summer camp play)

At the cottage- Grandma and a praying mantis

Donuts (honey nut cheerio peanut butter and strawberry rhubarb crumble) from Glory Hole Doughnuts

Cappuccino from R Squared on Queen St. It's their self-proclaimed "Life Changing Cappuccino" and I think it would be for someone new to caps

At the Ai Weiwei exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario

Good shot of the building (I'm across the street in green)

Duck Confit with Pear Pizza from Pizzeria Libretto - some of the best pizza I've had

Corey and I having a meeting with some engineers one day

Bottom floor of our building flooded the first week

This is a crookie (oreos baked into a croissant) from the first place to make them. It happened to be 3 doors down from my house

From my bedroom

Trying poutine (fries, gravy, cheese curds) for the first time

Looking at something at the Art Gallery of Ontario

Steamed buns from Chintown - pork, BBQ, coconut, all delicious with such amazing textures

Working at the loft one day

Best macarons I've tried - from Nadege Patisserie - vanilla, green tea, coffee

Took a weekend trip to the cottage on Lake Erie with the family
