weekend of a doosy

I am still recouperating from my weekend. It was a doosy.
We had friends stay with us who were driving across the country to celebrate their recent wedding.
So of course, we had to make sure Toronto was well represented - these kids were from Vancouver too, so it was a bit of a matter of urban pride.
Thus followed a couple overpacked days filled with: West Queen West, Kensington Market, tomatillo salsa, non-icy irish-cream ice-cream, eyes bigger than stomachs, yummy but expensive brunch, pitchers of beer, awesome concerts in stranger’s basements, art, artists, doggies, kitties, too much walking, sweat, extreme heat warnings, making fun of people who are jet lagged and drunk, wading pools in vacant lots and many empty promises of swimming.
This was our wedding present for the happy couple (other than my Toronto songs compilation, and giving them a place to stay in our tiny - but air conditioned - apartment).

I hope they had as much fun as we did!
