toronto: i belong here

it's a good day to be in TO. i don't think i would live in any other city although i haven't been to many others, but i believe in what Toronto represents, i enjoy the people, the culture, the density, the sense of security and belonging. i had a great lunch today at sintra, an italian restaurant that participated in summerlicious. it was so good. for $10 there was bread and olives, a salad, fillet of sole, and egg foam for dessert. the dessert was real good...! just the thought of it makes me happy. i've been told that it's really easy to make me happy, and it is. after lunch then the day continued with a stroll along college, spadina, and queen streen arriving at the outdoor arts exhibition at nathan philips square. the largest outdoor art exhibition in north america. it was good. i was really impressed by the variety and talent. after the exhibition we headed to the toronto street festival, who says toronto is boring? i beg to differ. you just got to discover it. parts of young street was closed off to cars and only pedestrians were allowed. many things were happening, and i've never seen so many people walking together in young street before. the day has went by quickly, and now i've gotta do a lot of work to prepare for things happening tomoro. i noticed the time on these blogs is wrong, off by a few hours. but anyways it doesn't matter, i think it's because my calender is set to 2002...haha...

i've decided to go to these thing every year:
doors open
outdoor arts exhibition
summerlicious
street festival
toronto, we belong here.

charlie: what if everyone was like you? what if we all ran away from our problems? huh? what then? what if everyone in the whole world suddenly decided to run away from their problems?
linus: well, at least we would all be running in the same direction!
