Toronto Photo Diary

Blue water of Georgian Bay, Canada

A big hello! I am so sorry I have neglected my blog for so long. I was having so much fun in Toronto, but now real life has finally sunk in. Anyway, I thought a little photo diary of my summer in and around Toronto would be a nice pick me up, since I am missing my favourite time of year in Canada, autumn (Happy Belated Labour Day). If anyone has any ideas on how to add touches of autumn as the heat quickly encroaches in Brisbane, I am all ears. I am grateful I was able to spend two months this summer with those I love. Living abroad can sound exciting, but it is definitely hard living so far away from family and friends. Here are a few highlights from my trip.

Seeing the hilarious play, Run for your Wife, at Kings Warf Theatre in Penetanguishene

Finally getting to camp at the Bruce Peninsula National Park, only to be rained out
