This is a collection of pictures from my and Dara’s 2012 trip to Canada, which we happily nicknamed the Great Canadian Adventure.
It was a trip that took us to Toronto, Montreal, Moncton, and St. John’s, and it was perhaps one of the most epic vacations I’ve ever had. I never did finish writing up properly in blog posts, I fear, but what blog posts I did can be found right here.
On the Way to the Farm
The only sign I've ever seen in Latin
Once we were done dropping by Queen's Park in downtown Toronto, we cut through the U of T campus and specifically past the medieval studies building. Where we found this sign in Latin! I have no idea what it says, but hey, Latin!
The arch at the medieval studies building
This was a nifty arch near the sign in Latin.
We can rebuild our lunch
Why did I take a photo of a Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox? Because we stopped in a candy store on the way to Riverdale Farm, and the candy store had ancient lunchboxes, and I saw this one, and recognized it from when I was a kid!
AIDS memorial
We went through the Village, Toronto's LGBT district, on our way to Riverdale Farm. They have a touching AIDS memorial there, one to which they add new plaques every year with the names of AIDS victims. This was the first set of plaques.
More urban art in Toronto
I liked this mural, and this bit was only a portion of the full thing stretching along an entire block.
One more bit of urban art
I liked this one, especially the meta-ness of a painting of a hand painting a painting!
