’08 CANADA & U.S. PHOTO SERIES, PT1 TORONTO

TORONTO

Niagara Falls, shitty baseball and terrible hangovers

My first ever solo trip began as a by product of going to Toronto for a week as part of my uni course. I’ll admit toronto wasn’t my favourite city but it was more than made up with the company I was with. Most of which didn’t socialise together so it was great to actually get to know some of the others over copious amounts of North American lager.

WHERE IS TORONTO?

A week in Toronto

TORONTO

It was never going to be a week of seminars but the few that we did fit in were spent dealing with a hangover, the temptation fo alcohol was just too great here! Apart from the bar, our free time was spent checking the city out, visiting Niagara Falls and drinking in our rooms!
