I love the ice rink with the pumpkins on it.....so pretty. I'm definitely not living large....I don't think I'd enjoy being in a church gathering with 12,000 people!!! I am simple, and enjoy smaller gatherings personally.....
The architecture is amazing to look at - all mirrored and what not, very Toronto actually. We don't go into Toronto for the largesse reasons ;) The Eaton Center in Toronto is humungous like the Galleria - I forget how many floors and is beautiful to look at but just not my thing.
I went to Burlington today - does that count? It's a city. Near me. I think I'll probably drive to either St. Jacob's or Paris Ontario this coming week. The drive will be beautiful and the weather is cooler so there'll be some outdoor shopping and probably coffee and pie outside. (You can tell from the names of the cities that they are more than likely small towns....yup. We even have Scotland near us and Boston, Ontario )
Hope you have a nice visit and fun at the wedding.
We loved seeing the fall pumpkins as well.... Abi would prefer your tastes. I grew up in a church of 1700 so that many friends probably would not bother me.
I have heard of the glass architecture of your fair city. There is something regal about glass buildings.
Paris, Scotland, and Boston Ontario, you can certainly get around. Fall shopping is pleasant. Maybe the anticipation of the holidays? Enjoy!
The Toronto skyline is pretty at night and maybe during the sunrise or sunset when the glass buildings reflect the light but....again....claustrophobia!!! lol.
John finds being surrounded by mountains claustrophic but not tall buildings. Go figure!! I'm a little bit country , he's definitely a city guy who likes to be close to allconveniences - you never know when you'll need something 'stat'. !!
I'll have to do a photo blog on the small towns around here.
We've attended large churches too. And yes, you can hide in those congregations and have more people to choose from for friends. But there is something about home churches or home gatherings....they are called by different names.
