This is where my story begins... well, a few more blocks down from where you see. This past week, I spent my time traveling for work to the nice city of Toronto. On Saturday night, after hosting my dear family for a tour of my work place, I caught the red eye out of SFO to Toronto. As if red eyes weren't horrible enough, we got delayed getting into Toronto (about an hour). Why this is critical? Well, as I catch the cab from the airport into Toronto, we sit in traffic. Mind you, it's 7am on a Sunday. WHO is out at this hour???

Well, it turns out, thousands! For what??? The Toronto marathon!! About forty minutes into the ride, I'm still not to the hotel. It's dark and rainy. I notice that all the downtown exits are closed and there's a blinking sign that says a marathon us going on! And the roads are closed from 6am to 2pm!!!

Oh dear, the story gets better. As all cab drivers do, they try their best to weave in and out of the alleys, but today is no day even for the best drivers. The main road, Queens Avenue is completely closed for the running of the marathon. It just so happens that my hotel is on that street. 123 Queens Avenue West to be exact.

Well, the closest he can get me is (according to him) two blocks away. He apologizes profusely about not being able to get any closer. So there's a consistent stream of rain falling from the sky and it's a tad foggy. He takes out my roller bag, laptop backpack from the trunk and I grab my purse. I have no umbrella... and I start making my way through the steady rain and the parade of marathon runners with their proud bibs. I end up on the marathon route because that's where my hotel is. A mountie informs me that I'm not supposed to be on the route and that I need to turn back. I exclaim "My hotel is just down the street." and proceed to walk hoping that my continued movement will dissuade him from doing anything drastic. After all, I'm not trying to crash the marathon. (On a side note, I now know how it feels to be a salmon swimming up river. The rain definitely provided adequate simulation.) I keep telling myself it's just two blocks... but we all know how that goes! (Two days later, we actually walked 2 blocks to a networking event and I definitely walked farther in the rain. The colleagues I walked with all started laughing when I pointed out where the cab driver dropped me off.)

I get into the hotel - I'm sure - looking like a wet dog. Everything is dripping wet - my hair, my poor coat and my purse. I put the dripping purse on the check-in counter. Meanwhile, my glasses have decided to fog up with the temperature difference with water streaming down them. I have nothing with which to dry them so I do my best to shake the water off. The hotel staffer, without looking up says, "How was your trip in, eh?" I can't make this stuff up... I think I just start laughing. As he looks up, he says, "I guess it's raining out. Checking in?" YES! The nice thing is that the staffer upgraded me to a suite with this view. Needless to say, I was in dire need of a HOT shower!

The rest of the week? Well, as they say - it can only go up from here!

Toronto's Tales of Dales. T-dot Sunset Over Greyness

An additional photo for Week 9
The series Toronto's Tales of Dales

Opening the chapter of December in my new series of seasonal impressions of a vast view over Rosedale and Don Valley of Toronto, as seen right from Downtown at North-East direction.

The first day of December was nicely warm and sunny, no even a single trace of snow! But what got my attention on that day was the T-shaped reflection of the last minutes of the sunset!

All the dales were in soft shadow and the last rays of sun reached only the sky and far horizon! Even if the photo itself is a bit gloomy for my taste, I like it because of this flaming "T" :-)

The next seasonal impression of Week 10 in the dales is on the way - Stay tuned! / Bientot a l'ecran! :-)

In case you missed the autumn colour transformation I recorded for my new series, you are most welcome to look through the set or you may like to see it as a slide show.
