preview of toronto

...better pics to come, but these are all i have of the toronto skyline for now. taken on our road trip into town - our first glimpse as we approached the city from the west.



some forgotten weekend ago, there was a Jazz Festival in the Distillery District (area with nice restored warehouses and urban lofts that now house an eclectic mix of art galleries, furniture shops and foodie haunts)... here are a couple pics.



oh yeah, silliness - a few weekends ago we drove out to Georgian Bay (north of Toronto) where there was an Elvis festival in Collingwood. No, we are not elvis fans, but just stumbled upon a festive looking event so we stopped to gawk as any decent tourist would.

if you squint hard enough, you can just make out the blue elvis singing on stage. there must have been at least 200 other Elvises peppered around the scenery, ages ranging from 10 to 75. we even spotted a few marilyn monroes as accessory pieces.
