Travelling to Toronto again and the first day here - entry for 250902/03

So, I'm back in Toronto, love the city and love meeting up with my Canadian friends. As always I'm going to share some photos here with you and for the first day it's mainly classical photos of travelling and Cabbagetown, where they have spruced things up a bit with fresh plantpots(at least freshly painted) and green stickers(I think) on lampposts. There was also a new feature at the airport with it's name YYZ, maybe when I leave I'll take a selfie at it.
So the next day I went downtown as I was going to meet up with Sonja, TIFF is happening as usual celebrating it's 50th Anniversary so the area there was bustling with preperations. St. Andrews church was open and there's a museum in the cellar for the 48th Highlanders. Old uniforms, parade uniforms, new uniforms, pipes and drums and a lot of other stuff. Also just before I went there I was lucky they flew with the airshow and when I posted about that on Instagram a friend of mine said "Oh, so that was what I heard around lunchtime". As I upload the photos you'll also see the stone at Canada's Walk of Fame of Graham Greene, felt approriate to visit it as he passed away just the other day.
So this was it for these two days, more to come so look out for new entries.

Finally Canada again- Tuesday 230905

It's been 4 years and some months since I last was back in Toronto. This past Tuesday it was time again. Lovely weather back home in the morning, trip went over the bridge to Copenhage Airport.
Flight was pleasant, there were some slight turbulence but nothing that effected me. Cool feature on the plane, the windows are now shadeable, not a plastic "curtain" anymore. The sun outside was brutal, you could feel the warmth on the windows and they're usually cold.
Arriving in Toronto looked like usual, although outside the customs three Germans waited for me and then we all waited for an American friend before we went into town. There will be more entries for Wendesday and Thursday coming up, hopefully later today.
