Cavalcade of Lights 2010

This was my first time checking out the cavalcade of lights and it was definitely a spectacle for the senses!  I was quite impressed with the firework display and the lights on the surrounding buildings, I hope to get a chance to visit Nathan Phillips Square again this month and some of the main tourist areas to capture more of the holiday spirit!  I was quite impressed with the amount of people who turned out for this, I could not even get close to the stage or the skating rink, it was that packed! Another attraction was the Bay store display windows, they seem to attract everyone from the young children to the elderly, I guess everyone can appreciate a good Christmas display. The Eaton Centre also had their giant Christmas tree as an attraction. Unfortunately due to the construction that is ongoing the tree looks terrible as the background or foreground to numerous scaffolding all around the mall.  The weather wasn't too cold, definitely good walking weather for a late November evening. All in all a pretty productive evening, hopefully I can continue this trend next week, stay tuned!

Winter fun in Toronto

The holiday season is upon us and the feeling of anticipation and excitement is growing! The Santa Claus parade already behind us and the U.S Thanksgiving this week there is only 1 more month until Christmas. Usually at this time of the year I find myself longing for the summer weather and dreaming of all the fun summer activities that Toronto has to offer.  Honestly, I have never given it much thought that perhaps Toronto can still be fun and exciting throughout the dead of winter. I plan to put this theory to the test this year. 

This winter I am going to make it my mission to find out what I have been missing and show other skeptics like me that Toronto is still capable of being fun and exciting during the winter months! My first interesting event I have come across is the Cavalcade of Lights going on at Nathan Phillips Square this Saturday, this event offers a free concert along with a light display and fireworks to top it all off.  This will be my first time checking it out, I will report back to you this Saturday night. Stay tuned!

First post on my new blog!

Hi everyone,

Just thought I would start up a blog for myself, not exactly sure of what I want to accomplish with it yet, or what purpose it will serve but I will continue to think about it over the next little bit. My initial thoughts about starting a blog is to share some general observations on day to day life, perhaps share some advice on various topics and maybe even blow off some steam through a rant now and again, lol. Time will tell how this will evolve. :)
