Day 3: University of Toronto, $8 All-You-Can-Eat Korean BBQ

We have spent day 3 exploring the University of Toronto campus and its many beautiful buildings. We also had Kemper experience a Canadian delicacy "poutine"; fries, gravy and cheese curds. Quite delicious.

We also have all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ for only $8. Beef, pork, chicken, fish and squid, along with the usual small sides dishes of kimchi, bean sprouts, tofu and others. Finished off the night with some bubble tea and a game of Apples to Apples with some friends.

Day 2: Wine Tasting and Niagara Falls

We began day 2 by visiting the lovely Chateau des Charmes Winery, just about 15 minutes away from Niagara Falls. When we arrived, we were expecting a small house with lots of grapes. What we didn't expect was a luxurious castle of a place.

 We toured around their winery as our tour guide, Paul, told us a brief history about the Chateau des Charmes and its owner, Paul Bosc, an Algerian who has spend about his whole life into making wine.

Paul also showed us the many different areas of the winery and their process behind making their wines. We also got to sample 3 different wines; two reds and one white.

 

 Afterwards, we headed to Niagara Falls and boarded the Maid of the Mist. 

We finished the day off with some nice long shutter night photographing on the roof.

Stay tuned!

Day 1 in Toronto: Harbour Front, Downtown Toronto

We began our day getting some lunch downtown. We took the streetcar down Spadina Ave.

As we headed to Chinatown, we stopped by a small cafe. One thing that caught our attention was the Iced Lemon Coffee. We decided to give it a shot. It was delicious. At first it was a sweet iced coffee with a hint of lemon. Later it turned into a sweet lemonade with a hint of coffee. Either way, it was pretty good.

After lunch, we headed to the Harbour Front where we saw some pretty neat boardwalk sculptures, shown below.

We also visited the Museum of Inuit Art. Unfortunately, we didn't take pictures, but the artwork inside was amazing. A lot of sculptures made from bone and stone as well as inuit clothing and interpretations of Sedna, the sea goddess.

We also visited the Steam Whistle Brewery. We missed the last tour, but we got a sample of their Pilsner brew. Quite delicious.

We also visited the Death Art Tattoo show at the Hilton. Like the Museum of Inuit Art, we didn't have pictures. A lot of great work done by many tattoo artists from around the world.

That is the end of Day 1. Stay tuned for more!
