steak

so, me and cathy are in canada, to get married.... currently sitting in the room in niagara, feeling a little tired as its been a hectic few days. anyhoo... all systems go on the wedding front, documentation is good to go and we just need to pay a quick visit to city hall tomorrow.

anyhoo... toronto was excellent (we were there first)! lots to see and do... and i think we walked about 20 miles in three days.
highlights:
- steam whistle brewery
- the markets
- the italian dude with the fresh pasta at the market (amazing sauce... i think it was a mix of alfredo, pesto and arriabiata - wicked!)
- steak restaurant
- shopsy's lunch place - pastrami sandwiches rock
- hernando's hideaway - get the chimichanga-some-thing-or-others.
- eaton centre - how many shops do you need?
- meese on the reefs (yes it doesn't make sense but it rhymes)

man, just to go into a little more detail on 'steak'. this restaurant is just awesome. i got the rib of beef. on the bone, the NICEST beefs i have ever had. and it was the horse sized portion. cathy got a slightly different cut, but again just so soft and tender.... really you got to go here.

the mexican place is excellent too. we like refried beans.
and steam whistle beer? this stuff just rocks.... imagine a sunny day listening to a dude playing good music, a cold beer, a bbq and the toronto skyline. whats not to love?


lowlights:
- crazy taxi dude called al hasjif or something. man he was angry. and probably had plutonium in his boot. for a bomb or something.
- brewery in the hotel, with 4 beers, none brewed there.
- the chick who couldn't sing in the brewery.
- fat rugby players. like they need to start eating american/canadian portions.

anyways... lots to see in niagara, the falls were excellent and we plan to do the maid in the mist thing.... then get some bikes and get out to niagara on the lake!

more updates soon.....
