We are already past mid-January...but the weather is weird! We were to Toronto the last 2 days...and today, it is 8+ with fog all over...
Nevertheless, we had a great time in TO. One of the reason for us going there was to visit the boat show; Heiner spoke with various people about diesel engines: Nanni, Beta and Volvo.
It was also nice to speak with the various representative of the Canadian-Caribbean who were trying to lure sailors to their islands...Virgin Islands, Grenada, St-Vincent and Antigua and Barbuda...Because of the very few people visiting (it was Monday afternoon!), we had time to chat with everybody! But the only thing that we bought was...a bottle of marinade/sauce made with Ontario beer which tasted delicious!!!

As we were staying in China town, we had our evening meal in a Vietnamese restaurant Pho Hung). A nice hot soup for Heiner and a vermicelli dish with beef rolled in mint leaves for me! Both were delicious.
Today, despite the rain, we strolled along Spadina avenue and bought food!!! Shitake mushrooms, dried shrimps, pu-ehr tea, wasabi and ginger for our sushis, spices and Japanese candies!! Lots of fun.
On the way to the highway, we also went to a Middleeastern foodstore for other supplies: balck tea,fresh pita, feta cheese and an assortment of olives, stuffed eggplant and marinated lemons. Guess what supper tonight will be??????????????????
