bare_bearI haven't been posting much since I'm in Toronto visiting my best buddy, and we've been really busy. Holidays are great yo!
Today, we had a fantastic Canada Day! First we had an fruitastic breakfast at Cora (I had a strawberry and custard filled crepe. Then we headed to the Black Creek Pioneer Village for the day. The Pioneer Village was so awesome, I can't even tell you. I adored the woman who was carding sheep wool and then spinning it on the spinning wheel.
Look at that hooped dress thing! And that sewing dummy! EEEEE!!!!
So overall, it was a great Canada Day! I hope you guys had a great day too, regardless of your Canadian citizenship status! :D

(Why yes, I did take this photo. With my horribly old canon camera. Occasionally it behaves and does cool stuff.)
It was really cool to see the people there working as the pioneers would've back in the mid 1800's. I adored the tiny foot cranked sewing machines in some of the houses.

Uh yeah, we were playing around. Note my Canadian Temp Tattoos and awesome Canada Day headband, complete with sparkly Canadian flags and fireworks. I wound up giving the headband to a little girl on the subway who was eyeing it up enviously. :)
Then we watched fireworks from my buddies 21st floor apartment, and we saw not only the Toronto City fireworks, but the Scarborough fireworks, and even the fireworks at Niagra-on-the-Lake across Lake Ontario. PLUS all of the residential fireworks. Best possible plan for the fireworks, since we didn't actually have to deal with public transportation, crowds, and mass exoduses.
