Dave Matthews in Toronto

So I am slack and this is really late after the fact, but better than nothing.



Susan dropped me off at the airport in Timmins at 8am! Yeah, I got to wait at the airport til my flight at 10! I did at least get to catch up with some tv shows on my ipod. So I have Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th off tp mosey on down to Toronto and watch DMB! I leave at 10 am and arrive at 12pm. I catch a bus to the hotel, check in and enquire about a Thai restaurant, as I am really missing ethnic food. Timmins has Italian and Chinese! So I wander around and a while, through this underground PATH system, and make my way to Teaopia - where they sell some fantastic Chai tea leaves- even I can't stuff up the making of it! So went there then hit the Ivory Thailand had the best Penang chicken curry. I then went an shopped in the Eaton Centre. Looked heaps but bought not a thing!

I met Keryn and Steve, another exchange couple, for dinner. It was to catch up and talk to another Australian, they just get it and you don't have to explain things. We were able to compare and contrast what is happening. So very fun!

I then took off in a taxi to the concert - At the Molson Amphitheatre. What a stupid place. It is an open air thing - like Southbank, and it was really, really cold - very windy! Despite this fact DAVE MATTHEWS ROCKED!!!!!! Getting out of the place was a nightmare. The amphitheatre is heaps far from PT and 17000 people had to exit through 1 exit! Pretty shitty - took me 2 hours to get back to the hotel. But got there, slept.

Woke up and went shopping, tried to look for books, didn't buy much, pretty well behaved. Went and had lunch again at the thai place - omigod it was gooood! Then went and grabbed a Chai tea, and hit the road to the airport.

Gotta say I loved being able to access everything so easliy. Lots of fun. Kim picked me up and we had dinner, then I got home and crashed hard. All fun and games!
