Kensington Market, Toronto

Walking through the district of Kensington Market in Toronto. It’s technically a market, but you will find stores, restaurants, bars and other artistic. It’s super laid back and a little bit hippy style. Thank you for following my travel journey of living on a permanent vacation with 3 weeks work, 1 week off.

Toronto Travel: Fall in Toronto The Distillery District &

admin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 05:37:17 +0000

As the days get shorter and the temperatures get lower, every little ray of sunshine seems to count and tempt me to rush outside to breathe in the last few glimpses of nice weather before we head into our long, cold and dark winter here in Toronto. So on September 19, 2009 I hopped on my bicycle again and cycled southwards along the Don Valley bicycle path. The colours are slowly turning and signs of fall are in the air everywhere. I headed to one of my favourite Toronto destinations: the Distillery District, North Americas largest collection of vintage Victorian-era industrial buildings that has been transformed into a popular entertainment and cultural district. After my delicious late lunch which included one of my favourites, baked pretzels with Dijon beer aioli & marinara sauce at the Mill Street Brew Pub, I took a stroll through this busy entertainment area that has become a favourite Toronto destination among locals and tourists alike. A major art installation graced the large outdoor space at the end of Trinity Street. I still havent been able to figure out what the combination of what appears to be a giant funnel and an oversize spiral is supposed to be and who it was created by. On September 20, 2009 another gorgeous day awaited me, and I had a few hours available to go biking on a busy day. I had read that a new portion of the Toronto Waterfront Trail had been opened next to Ontario Place the day before and wanted to see this newest addition to Torontos bicycle …

Toronto Travel: Beaches International Jazz Festival 2009

admin — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:19:09 +0000

Toronto summers are highlighted by the myriad of street festivals that happen in different neighbourhoods and celebrate food, music and culture. Several times now I have had visitors in town at the end of July who I ended up taking to the annual Beaches International Jazz Festival. It’s been a hit every time. It was no different this year. On July 24 and 25, 2009 I partook of the Beaches Jazz Fest and on the second day my 5 European guests joined me in the 3 km long street party. More then 50 bands had been lined up, dozens and dozens of food stalls and souvenir stands lined the street, and about a million people showed up to enjoy the music. The atmosphere was phenomenal, and my visitors were blown away by the huge selection of high-quality live music and the ambience. As always, I looked for some of my personal favourites: the Imbayakunas and Puente del Diablo entertained the crowed with Latin and Spanish rhythms. I stood in line for ½ hour to grab a front row spot to see talented master violinist Dr. Draw and his diabolically brilliant performance in front of a raptured crowd. Late at night, on my way eastwards to get home, I got drawn in by the alluring rhythms of the Rob Christian Band and its new lead singer (whose name I never got) who, with his improvised lyrics and catchy melody, got Torontonians swaying, tapping their feet and even jumping and clapping in utter exuberance. No doubt everybody had an awesome time.
