a week later..

The big city - the view from Toronto Island

What a week! From Winnipeg to White River and onwards; we hit six provinces in seven days! Ay caramba. Jen and I were road masters, and drove from Winnie the Pooh to Ottawa all in one long shot. We changed plans and picked Steve up, spent Monday night in Gatineau and drove to Bowmanville and on to Toronto the day after our 13 hour cross-country last-long-day trek - we were car ZOMBIES. But it was all worth it - Jen and I hit up Toronto, and Steve and I had an awesome weekend with Dan and Milka and all of their guests this weekend. The wedding was amazing and it was so great to spend more time with them in the big city. Plans for next year are ever so slowly coming together, but until plane tickets are booked I'm reluctant to reveal the where and when, as these kinds of things sometimes just fall through - so stay posted for more on that end. For now, we're going to enjoy what's left of the weekend in Bowmanville, and watch the live scoring of the Canada-Cuba game that's happening maintenant; if Canada wins they're qualified for the World Championships (next year, Italy), and Steve can come with me to Boston and NYC. If they don't win, they head to Mexico in a few weeks for a second try, and then Steve and I will meet up afterwards to deal with house stuff, next year stuff and who knows what else. So - some pictures....

day one in the Toronto: Jen and I took a bus tour - despite the hot hot heat, it was great!

Thursday's wedding rehearsal at a small church on the island

on the ferry back - it was FULL of people!!

the wedding! Milka look amazing... and no one melted from the heat...

okay, so no one melted, but these dudes got pretty sweaty - cooling off after the service, two tall boys with their tall boys

at the Rosewater Room for the reception - the decor was gorgeous!


Steve and Dan-O, looking dapper
