Started the day on Roceyenville for a little shopping and breakfast. The shopping was mainly for Hiroko. We did have a big old feast for breakfast though and it was quite tasty. After breakfast we met up with Joe and Nobuko for a little ice skating. Hiroko didn't think I was that good so we played tag and I skated backwards. She couldn't catch me... It was Nobuko's first time on the ice and she did a great job! By the end of the day she was 'skating' by herself. I'm sure she also had a few bruises by the end of the day, but that happens. After that it was back to Queen Street where we ended up going to MOCCA (the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art). The exhibits were meh. But, it was fun to go. After that it was off to Kensington Market, a great little area of Toronto so Hiroko could get some tea. We stopped at a Chinese bakery and got some mandu which was tasty. All in all it was a great trip and I'd love to go back and visit Hiroko again someday in Toronto!
(Hiroko doing something outside - not sure what)
(We saw this place from the street car and decided to hop off and give it a try)
(Bike shop)
(Hiroko and I outside somewhere taking a photo)
(Hiroko showing off her dance moves...)
(Joe tying her skates - I know she was just playing it up. Then, I ended up tying Nobuko's.)
(And away they go)
(This kind of gives you the idea of what the rink was like - $2 to skate, only for the rentals. So, you could go and skate all day for free if you wanted. Man, I love Canada)
(I believe I was trying to get Nobuko to come back out on the ice)
(Joe was having a blast)
(I tried to get her to let go for the picture but she said she wasn't ready)
(There she goes - look at that stride)
(Break time)
(While Nobuko was on break I got the chance to skate a little bit)
(Back to lessons)
(Hiroko playing it up for the camera)
(Hiroko and Joe)
(A quick little break for me - wearing rentals never feels great on your feet)
(Nobuko, Hiroko, and Joe)
(And she's off)
(A cute picture of Joe and Hiroko)
(By the end of the day she was able to do a full lap by herself)
(And I think she had fun)
(Hiroko, myself and Joe)
(Here comes Hiroko flying in)
(MOCCA time)
(Those are mops with different colors)
(I guess art can be anything these days. We each picked out a favorite)
(Photo time in front of the art...)
(I believe these were famous movie characters that were zombified)
(We had to get our picture outside in front of the fun wall)
(And this is Hiroko's best jump - I don't even think she made it off the ground)
(Well, it got a little better)
(Then I tried to do one with Nobuko. I think she was going on 3 and I was going on 1, 2, 3 go...)
(That's ok, because this is what happened on the next try. As you can tell, our synchronization was terrible...)
(An interesting wall somewhere on Queen Street)
(The ladies getting mandu - Hiroko got 6 so she could throw some in the freezer)
(And of course we all had to eat one...)
(But I was the lucky guy with the camera)
(Don't think this person will be riding her or his bike anytime soon)
(Fun cookies...)
(Some rice and beans at Kensington Market)
(Hiroko posing again)
(We stopped here to get tea and it was quite tasty)
(A little street art in the area)
(Some fun colored houses)
(My final photo with Nobuko - she fake cried to make me feel better)
(Hiroko just laughed...)
