A night on the town

Today it is the end of Pride week here in Toronto, there will be a parade almost outside our hotel. Pride is bigger here than anywhere else in the world, so I think it will be worth watching. Hope to get some pic's to post here.



Laila and Tony, harbour by night.



Dianne.



Tony.



Having fun at the Biermarket.



Tony, Dianne, Malin and Laila outside the keg.


I bought jeans at Guess.

In the evening Laila from the office and her friend Dianne took us out for dinner at the Keg. It was really nice and afterwards we went to the Biermarket. We drank beer and sambuca and danced to a great band - the guys have promised me pic's from that as I didn't bring my camera.
Around 1 o'clock we went to the harbour and walked around and looked at the boats and Toronto skyline. After that Laila drove us back to the hotel. A really nice evening!



Yesterday was a shoppingday - these are presents for the girls, but I bought some nice underwear for myself, too. I also went swimming and to the gym.

Visiting my cousin Henry in Toronto



The house on Bay street where Henry lives with his family
is only a block away from the hotel I am staying at.



Nicole, Slatica, Eric and Henry.



Henry is feeding Nicole papaya,
Nicole is more interested in her jigsaw puzzle...



Eric is only 15 months, but a very steady walker!



Henry on an outing with his children.
Nicole is proudly pedalling her new princess-bike!



She sometimes needs a helping hand...



Eric is wondering when he will get his waterbottle back.

One more day at work...


Doc Elf is now Hulk Elf ...


Taking a rest on a sofa in one of the tunnels under the city.


The cradle of Metro Canada.


Peter met a friend.



The view was amazing!



Yesterday we went up in the CN Tower.
The tower measures 533 meters high...
There is a glass floor in one of the top storeys,
I stepped on it and looked down, really scary (ok, ok, maybe I didn't step out, Peter forced me out on the floor).
There is also a revolving restaurant on top,
if you eat there you will see all of Toronto
by the time you are finished with your meal.
We ended the day with a latenight swim in the pool.

Working, swimming and shopping












Outside one of the many entrances to the hotel.



Peter in the pool.

Most of the time we spend at the office, but me and Peter have found time to buy Nintendo ds, Peter bought a bundle with Guitar hero. Tony is looking for a camera, but haven't found the perfect one yet.
The weather is really really hot - but there is air con in the office.

Mama in Toronto

Now we are in Toronto, Peter, Tony and I.
We live at Hotel Delta Chelsea, http://www.deltahotels.com/hotels/hotels.php?hotelId=10

It is really nice, very big and a bit oldfashioned. There is a swimmingpool on the roof and I have been swimming every morning before breakfast. Very nice.
Last night we went to Hard Rock Café for dinner and we sat outside. On the square they were showing a gigantic moviescreen with "Gone with the wind", really cool.
