What beach is this? I seem to recall having a beer on that exact patio about 15 years ago and would love to know where I was lol. Being 20 and just visiting Toronto at the time, I didn't pay too much attention to names of local places

We've had a lot of late afternoon storms and a lot of awesome full rainbows over the past few weeks. Glad somebody got a good pick of one.

It wasn't a comprehensive list. People's preferences differ but wouldn't your stated itinerary need 4 or 5 days? I suppose you could cram it in although cramming isn't my idea of a vacation.

The only thing I felt I missed was a RWB performance, but I didn't feel rushed at all. Everything that interested me was within easy walking distance. The fact that I was on my own probably speeded things up somewhat (no lingering lunches), plus the fact that I had been to the Legislature previously and didn't feel the need to spend a great deal of time there.
