Toronto in the Fall with the Meijs

We arrived in Toronto, Canada on the 31st of October ... Halloween Eve ... not that we "did" Halloween but boy oh boy does everyone else!!! Orange pumpkins and skeletons line the streets and shops.

It's been just like old times staying 4 nights with our good friends Braam and Dot, and their beautiful little 1 year old daughter Monique ... lover of balls and shoes!




Braam's borrowed red bakkie just outside their home
We took the train to Toronto for a Saturday afternoon in the Distillery District in Old Toronto ... skipped the Sears Tower at $32/person!!! although we managed to get a nice picture from bottom to top to make up for it!

Dot & Brenda
Lovely late lunch at a Mexican joint ... sitting outside in 1'C but well heated.  Dot and I (Brenda) ended the evening at a concert where their local orchestra (Oakville) performed ALL my most favourite of favourite classical pieces - Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto and Smetena's Moldau to name just two of the most stirring music in the world.
