Currently sitting in YYZ waiting to head down to Boston. It was great to be back in Canada and to catch up with old friends. It's been three-and-a-half years. Hopefully the gap between this trip and the next won't be as long.
I've been back in Toronto and surrounds since getting back from a great couple of days up north at Three-Legged Lake, where my old exchange partner has a cottage. It was a great spot and I could have chilled out there for a few weeks and enjoyed it just as much.
Since the return I've mainly spent time catching up with people, though did have a couple of trips downtown, including a visit to Toronto Islands which was well worth it considering how good the weather was (a rarity in Toronto!)
There are photos on facebook if you're keen to have a look!

Jazz in Montreal
Blog has been a bit slow, but doubt there are too many readers...
I got back from Montreal yesterday, having spent the weekend there for a second visit. My first trip in 2004 was a bit ho-hum because the weather was ordinary and I had a cold. This trip was much better, particularly since I was travelling with a semi-local. The jazz festival was on and it certainly added a buzz to the city, with a lot of people enjoying the free acts and soaking up the atmosphere on a great summer's day - unfortunately the rain put a dampener on one of the days, so a wander around Old Montreal was a bit shortlived. But I won't complain too much about the weather, lest you think I'm turning into a Canadian.
On a related matter, I have only heard the term 'humidex' once since I've been here - must be a record!
Facebook is a hundred times better for uploading photos that Blogger, so feel free to check out the album. Here's the link:
