Okay, so it has been a while...........

Hi Everyone,
As promised I will be giving you the rest of my trip to Toronto. After spending a wonderful day of bead shopping and clothing shopping with Dariel, my eldest sister.
It was time for her to head on home.
That morning Dariel headed home and Terri and I headed for downtown Toronto to the Royal York Hotel.
After we checked into our beautiful room we took a stroll around the lobby, stopped for the best apple martini I have ever had and then went in search for a Pandora's jewelry shop. Turns out we were standing right above one!


These ladies were absolutely awesome. We had such a blast choosing bracelets and beads for everyone for Christmas, including ourselves. Both my sister and I are now addicted to Pandora! From there we wandered along "The Path" which is an underground tunnel system linking to all the downtown streets, buses and subways. It is amazing and completed filled with shops. We wandered and shopped and had a wonderful day.

That same evening my sister had purchased tickets to a Broadway play for my birthday!
We went to see Pricilla Queen of the Desert. Oh my goodness what fun that was, so colorfull and the costumes were amazing.














One of my favorite sites in Toronto, and there are so many, is this bridge in downtown Cambridge. It seems the townspeople did not like the look of the bridge and decided to get together and change it. So.............they covered it in knitting! I did not get to see it as at the time I was at the bridge, it was just ugly cement. But you can search it out on the net The bridge benefits the arts and the homeless.
