s07e11 - Frozen Coke

To say that I am ill equipped to handle what isn't even winter over here is an understatement. Mind you, I am coping much better than my traveling compadre Baz who finds it necessary to put 7 layers on and cover every inch of his skin even when its in the positives outside.

Its this rugging up that makes me wonder: How much is Baz actually missing?
I realise that for the most part his "softness" provides him with more warmth than myself, but on a few occasions Ive noticed little things while walking while Baz happily plows on, oblivious to what is happening outside of his hood, beanie and face warmey thing.


I any case, my time here in Toronto is about 10 hours away from ending, and while it has been fun, I didn't quite get to do everything I wanted, which included catching up with people. It's always hard to make the planets align when the time frame of alignment is under a week and I can't expect people to drop their lives just to catch up with me.


Tomorrow takes me to something new ... Calgary. I landed there once before but it was for a grand total of 3 hours, not nearly enough for me to say that Ive thoroughly scoped out the place. I know one thing about Calgary .... it's cold this time of year. Wow, there I go, on about how cold it is again. No more .....


It was only a week ago I was told by a "true Torontonian" that you haven't been ripped off properly until you've been up the CN Tower. I gave this another try and went up for the 3rd time now and while it is a little expensive for what you get, its still twice the value of Mandalay Bays shark tank!
Right after the CN Tower, I would have loved to have gone next door and done the Rogers Center (SkyDome) tour, but due to a heap of high school "Bowl" games, the $15 tour ticket was instead a $15 entrance fee to watch a few games, which wasn't quite as good as the tour would have been, but the 3 hours of watching kids play 'football' was a good time waster and mildly entertaining for the most part.





Now: Sleep
Next: Calgary
