WE'VE BEEN RELEASED FROM TORONTO!

It's true ... after what was supposed to be a three week gig - which became an eight week gig ... we've been released!  We're excited to return to the USA ... really looking forward to it in fact!  Knowing that we would start heading South on Sunday, we took Sadie to the vet for her vaccinations on Friday. Also knowing that it was going to rain on Saturday, we packed up all of our outside stuff (cool tree, picnic table cover, rug, camp stove, etc.) and even got the inside ready for travel ( meaning Phil packed up the mess he made in the office), we packed the printers and computers ready for travel!

After finishing that chore we checked our phones and found that Crawford Cat had called and emailed.  Apparently they needed us elsewhere, so we're on the move again!  This is the cool part about our job, you never know what's around the next corner and obviously timing was perfect!  We're headed to Long Island on Sunday!  We've never been so we're looking forward to the new adventure; especially getting back to the US!  We'll be working for FEMA, we really don't know what we'll be doing, just spending some tax money to make things right after Sandy (the storm we just can't get away from, hooray!)

We used today to do our Toronto exploring and it was cool.  We left AD at home hoping to be gone only 6-8 hours.  (Happy to report that we made 6 hours).  We decided to tour the Casa Loma Castle and we're glad we did.  It was very cool and I can't remember many details but we were there for 3 hours.  Try this link if you're interested in Casa Loma:  www.casaloma.org/. The Castle has 98 rooms, the guy who had it built was waaayyyy ahead of his time and we loved the tour.

After that we attempted to go to an underground Farmers Market (it was raining like crazy so underground was great) but we couldn't get near the place.  Seems the Toronto International Film Festival is happening now and the beautiful Hollywood people are residing downtown. We detoured and came upon China Town.  Man that was cool.  Looked like most China Towns but it's always interesting, dang it!  Wish we could have stopped for eating, but not to be....

AD's New Broncos Jacket

Cool Jacket moving into the Fall

The Beer Store.  Need I say more?  You can only buy beer here and if you want "the hard stuff" you go the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario).  It's very inconvenient but that's just how it is.  Crazy expensive booze here!

Tricked out Gremlin I spotted in The Beer Store Parking Lot

My two favorite Brits, Lucy and Alaina - gonna miss them!

Stuck forever at a train crossing.  Cool sky!

Her Highness wrapped in my hoodie.  It got really cold, really fast here.  Ready to MOVE!

So, we head West to get the evil gun tomorrow morning, then back East to NY.  Camping on Long Island is difficult but we'll make it work.  I think it may be warmer there so that's a good thing.  We'll update as we can so until later ....

Peace & Love & Pray For Storms!
