• Back from TO

  took a quick trip to Toronto at the request of a friend.  it’s been about 8 years since my first and last time to TO, and i’m very glad i returned.  i didn’t do a whole lot.  i didn’t get a chance to go to any museums.  i didn’t have time to spend at La Casa Del Habano and enjoy a Siglo IV.  i didn’t get to go to every restaurant i wanted to go to (but did get to try some new places).  what i did have, was some great company.  i’m glad that friendships that were created long ago, that have been poorly nourished, can still flourish.  i’ve always been one to feed off the positive energy of the people around me, and seeing that i was able to help create some smiles, has been really good for my soul.

  i didn’t take too many pictures, because i kept forgetting to take my camera with me.  the only pictures i took were from this awesome Japanese restaurant called JapanGo, on Elizabeth and Dundas.  18 seats.  cozy.  homely.  authentic Japanese.  jazz playing in the background.  i love this place.  is it Zushi Puzzle? NO.  if this place was in the Bay Area, would i be there all the time? YES.  here’s a few pics from my ‘berry.
