Mmmm, coffee

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

We found an amazing coffee place on Yonge street just south of Carlton. Absolutely fantastic.

And then we walked down the street to the Eaton Centre and I was happily surprised to see that the eternal blue hoarding at the corner of Dundas and Yonge is finally gone (after what, ten years?). I also managed to get the battery for my laptop rebuilt. Woohoo!

On the march back to the hotel, we popped into a jewelry place and met an interesting fellow who helped us sort out what we want. We put in a deposit. Hopefully next week, Mari will finally have a ring!

In the evening we went to The Rebel House and had some of their excellent wings. The girls had their first exposure to decent poutine, as well.

Then we paid $14 to park the car and went for lobster. I'm not a huge fan of the stuff, but they made it well at this place out on King Street West. Which is, of course, a neighbourhood I barely recognized. The march of condos into the core and surrounds is really something -- it's starting to resemble Vancouver.

We went down to the harbourfront afterward, and attempted to see the sights in the midnight gloom.
