Toronto bound

I had occasion to visit Toronto last week for a business conference.  Before heading out, I was treated to a Mother's day brunch at my favourite restaurant:  Days on Front

The eggs benedict and sweet potato fries were yummy!
I was amazed at how much Toronto had changed; 
so many new buildings and condos!
I stayed at One King West which is the old Toronto Dominion bank.
The conference floor is the old banking hall
 and still has many of the original features.
They even use the old vault for private functions 
(I hope no one slams the door shut)!
The first night I met up with an old friend 
and we feasted on mussels and steak tartare.

At least a bit of 'old' is still part of the skyline!
I couldn't resist this chocolate mousse cake on my final night.
We really needed a walk after sitting for 2 days,
 so I gathered up the girls and hit the pavement.


Old City Hall
A trip to Toronto is never complete without getting caught
 in bumper to bumper traffic
 on the 16 lane wide Trans Canada Highway!
A great learning trip, but it is always great to get home!
