Key: * then a number means I will explain who the person is in a new paragraph matching the number.
Episode 2: Toronto:
I officially hate Toronto. It is dirty, for the most part ugly, and the people are not that nice either (but of course there are exceptions).
I almost have nothing to write about except the few people I met and will remember always. The three things that stick out to me other then those lovely individuals are Queen street West, Kensington Market, and The Cherry Bomb. Queen and Kensington both have their own charm and nifty shops. Queen has the Much Music headquarters where they shoot all their programming, tons of head shops selling the same paraphernalia and pipes and a million people not looking where they are walking. Kensington Market on the other hand, is very earthy and hippy like. The coffee is great, the people bike everywhere, and you can buy used clothes from 100 shops.
The Cherry Bomb is a cafe on roncesvalles in Toronto and has the best coffee that I have ever experiences to this day (November 8th 2009). The owners John and Sarah*1 are extremely friendly, and warmed our hearts with their coffee and hospitality. Their store is very minimalist and caters almost entirely to take out
customers who just want an amazing coffee on their way to work. They offer 8 different kinds of coffee for a too reasonable price.
*1 - John and Sarah are the owners of the Cherry Bomb, and where some of the most giving and loving people we found in Toronto.
The people I would like to share with you are not so much connected to adventures as the ones in Montreal were, I think this is because they were with us almost everyday for our daily routine.
Nathan Krahn - Nathan is from Niverville originally but I know him mainly from his time living in Winnipeg. He is a warmhearted free spirited musician who happened to land in Toronto looking for work during a time of backpacking. His lack of job finding was completely due I am sure to the fact that his love is still in his heart and not beamed away by the CN tower.
Darien - Darien is one of Darcy's friends from his past life as a Torontonian. They met in highschool and magically kept their connections through Darcy moving away. Darien is one of the most giving and warm people I met in Toronto or maybe of all time. He lived extremely close to our camping spot so we spent a lot of time with him.
I know there are millions more people to talk mention but Toronto was such a shit hole I don't want to write about it any longer.
