This is the 2nd time these old boys meet (we met briefly in Kingston 3 years ago). Toronto was fun - my first time there. Interesting city - lots of stuff to do downtown. The CN Tower was awesome! Especially since I'm scared of heights.

I had a great time. Algonquin took me around with his Toyota Sienna, and we had a great day looking at guitars, having Lick's burgers, and just hanging out.

The 12th Fret is a really cool guitar store. Steve's Music had tons of good stuff, but the store was not as personal and interesting as the 12th Fret.

I got a good shot of a kitesurfer too.

Thanks Algonquin for being SO SUPER!

^ This!

I would love to get up to Canadia some day. Alas, I can't afford to drive to Georgia at this point.
