Toronto
How is that for an originally entitled post! I spent my first weekend away from Manhattan in over 3 months - sad, I know. I went to visit some friends of mine who now live in Toronto - it was a lot of fun and a different lifestyle altogether - what with their jacuzzi and everything!!! Ah the life! So in between swimming in their apartment's swimming pool and lazing in the jacuzzi, I've been sampling Toronto's jazz scene, eating an amazing brunch of hideously sweet pancakes & maple syrup and climbing (ok, getting the lift) to the top of the CN tower.
,
I even stood on the glass floor, which was a bizarrely frightening experience. Although you know it's glass and perfectly safe to walk on, your whole body screams, 'Nooo, don't stand there!!!' But I did it...eventually!
.
One more week of work left in Manhattan - it all seems to have gone by so fast. When I get home I'll upload some of my pictures and post them here. Its getting kind of sad now...I've made some friends in the last few months and as much as I'm looking forward to going back to Southampton, it will be sad so say goodbye. On a happier note - Ken comes in 5 days and I feel like a 6 year old waiting for Christmas.
But right now - its bed time!

I trust you'll bring some of that famous blessed Toronto spirit back with you...
Only one more week in Manhattan? I seldom use emoticons, but this definitely rates a :(

Most definately Rich - Fifteenth Street is one of the things I will miss most about New York - I've learnt a lot about Quakerism - especially from you and seen a whole other side to the movement which has been very enlightening.
Ken and I are hoping to take a course when we get back - 15th street has really helped me decide that Quakerism is for me.
