Update from Toronto

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 23:21:24 -0400

Sorry about the spotty updates here on the honeymoon... we've been... you know... honeymooning! We had a wonderful train ride from Stratford to Toronto, and agreed with many of our fellow passengers that train travel is simply more civilised than most other methods that we could have chosen for getting about the great province of Ontario for our trip. After finding a hotel here in Toronto we settled in to The Grange Hotel and set out to see what we could see. We are only a block from Kensington Market (just off of Toronto's Chinatown) which is an awesome neighbourhood that is filled with cute shops, great restaurants, and tons of other cool stuff. After shopping around and trying to avoid rain showers we headed to the Downtown Yonge Street area to play the tourist in Dundas Square. Friday found us in downtown again visiting Donald's cousin Paul and getting a look inside the RBC Capital Markets floor (after a small snafu involving the lack of pants). As news of the House's vote for the bailout bill was just breaking it was a very cool time to be inside the financial system as an observer. We said good-bye to Paul and headed back out to do some more shopping before going back to Kensington Market for dinner at Torito Tapas Bar. We had a most excellent dinner that included a heirloom tomato salad to remember for a while. Then we wandered down to The Village Idiot Pub for drinks. They had a great selection of local beers including a great Ontario beer called Waterloo Dark from the Brick Brewing Company. Today has been a slower day for us as we got up and went to the St. Lawrence Market, which is the oldest market in Toronto. After a great lunch of local cheese and some other goodies that we brought with us we napped and chilled at the hotel most of the afternoon in preparation for this evening. Tonight in Toronto is the city-wide all night contemporary art thing Nuit Blanche. There will be lots of pictures and more news as we get back to town and have a chance to write up more, but for now we are going to go and run 'round about town and enjoy the art! See you all soon - D&T

Quick roundup, Monday through Wednesday

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:53:38 -0400

Let's see... Tessie and I have now sen all three of our Stratford shows, The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet, and Cabaret. All have been, as we expected, awesome. We also went on the backstage tour, and all day today thre have been middle and high school kids running around, but largely they've not caused us any trouble (I just made all the high school boys realise that they have, incomparison to Me wearing a kilt, absolutely no game at all ~DW)

We've also had a few particularly keen meals, at Henry's, and at The Church (Both in downtwon Stratford... look them up). Everything is within walking distance of our hotel, the Queen's Inn.

Hope y'all are having a grand time at home, we are here.

We are officially ON THE HONEYMOON!

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 20:37:10 -0400

Tessie and I are now checked in, and sitting about in our first destination: Windsor Ontario.

We are in an undisclosed hotel with a beautiful view of the Detroit River, directly opposite Hart Plaza.

Tomorrow, very early in the morning, we catch a train to Stratford, where we will be enjoying the summer festival posting more stories, photos, and other interesting things.

Stay tuned!

Wedding Registries

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:46:32 -0400

Tessie and I have lived with each other a while, and have a relatively well stocked household (ok.. we still LOOK like we live like college students half the time), and Donald filled his lifelong dream to own an old Kelvinator fridge, so thankfully no one has to try and find a working one of those.

So, we have registered with HoneyFund.com (So you can send us on our Honeymoon!), as well as Bed, Bath and Beyond, and even a couple things on ThinkGeek, like the alarm clock that will ensure Donald and Tessie never are late to work again.

If you like wandering around the mall or the stores, by all means go ahead and do so, but we prefer shopping online (because Donald hates the mall). To see our registries, you can click on the links below.

The skyline on the top of the blog is an artistic rendition of Toronto. Tessie and I are currently planning on going to Toronto and Stratford, Ontario, for our honeymoon sometime in the week after the wedding.
