Boy in a Big Country: Toronto Part 2

I arrived at Sarah's house and within an hour we were making cocktails. Matt taught me how to make a Negroni, a gin based cocktail. It was pretty tasty if I do say so myself.

Feeling proud

We went out in search of food and drink, and found ourselves at a Japanese fusion bar. We had some absolutely amazing deviled eggs. Anyone who has ever been to a pot luck event with me knows that I am a fan of deviled eggs, and these with balsamic vinegar and crispy chicken skin were no exception to my appreciation.

It was in this restaurant where I ate the most prized part of the fish, it's face.

YAY friends

After more food and drinks, we finished the night with a Canadian classic 'poutine', which is fries and cheese drowned in gravy. It was so good that my mouth is watering at the thought of it.

The next day, after a breakfast of salmon and cream cheese bagels, Sarah and I went to Casa Loma in the rain.

Casa Loma is a huge house built and owned by a man who couldn't actually afford to build or live in it. Deeply in debt, he had to sell it and auction off all the furniture. They tried to pass it off as a sad story, but it's really not when you consider that he lived there for ten years.

I spent the rest of the day relaxing at home, my first day off since my journey began. I was tasked with the feeding of the kitties.

'Nyam nyam'

My final day in Toronto started with brunch accompanied by a Caesar cocktail. It is similar to a Bloody Mary except that instead of tomato juice, a Caesar uses Clamato (clam and tomato juice) instead of just tomato juice. After brunch, we went to Toronto Pride where I was lucky enough to have lots of freebies thrown right at me, with a necklace landing on my arm.
