Q trekked to High Park to visit the cherry blossoms today. They are not in full bloom yet, but he wanted to see them before it's too late. Nature makes Q smile!

All of the Lights
Maggie braved the wind earlier this evening to check out the Toronto Light Festival. There were 21 installations from around the world. This one was very popular. Doesn't Maggie look angelic?

Havana Continued
The weather was better than expected while we were in Havana. It was supposed to rain a few days, but never did. One day was particularly warm and sunny so we dropped everything and went to a local beach.
As you can see, Clem and Dumbo were very relaxed!
We spent our remaining days exploring other districts in Havana, including Central Havana. They have a Chinatown there, but we didn't really see anything that was authentically Chinese.
We brought home coffee, rum, and cigars. We're saving these Cohibas for a special occasion!

Hola Havana!
Clem and Dumbo had a terrific vacation in Havana! Here are a few snaps from their trip.
We woke up early to catch our flight. Dumbo napped while Clem watched luggage being loaded onto our plane.
We stayed in a casa particular, which was a great alternative to a hotel. Our host was friendly although we didn't know much Spanish and she didn't know much English. Our room was simple but had everything we needed, and was very clean. Clem and Dumbo enjoyed basking in the sun when we first settled in.
On the day we arrived, B and I did a 4-hour bike tour. We had the friends with us the whole time, but opted to keep them clean in our backpack. We were sticky from the heat and did cycle through some wet areas.
Clem and Dumbo spent the next day exploring Old Havana. They went to the famous squares, such as the one above...
...and this one. They thought the architecture was pretty cool.
Clem and Dumbo wanted to dine like locals so we tried lots of mom and pop places. The food in Havana is nothing to write home about. There's not a lot of variety, but the portions are large and cheap.
We didn't take as many photos as we usually do while travelling but a few more to come of Clem and Dumbo!

Name that City
Clementine and Dumbo escaped the winter blues and headed down south for a few days. Do you know where they are?

Declutter Challenge
Q is helping me with a declutter challenge. Every day this month we are getting rid of more and more items. It was one item on day one, two items on day two, and so on. By the end of January, we will recycle, give away, donate, or throw away 465 items in total! We are a little behind (half way through day 19). Wish us luck!

Sunday @ The AGH
Buddy had a really great afternoon at the Art Gallery of Hamilton on Sunday! He wrote a letter using a typewriter at "The Living Room" exhibit...
...learned about Ken Danby...
...saw a bunch of paintings from Canadian artists...
...including some colourful contemporary art...
...and loved checking out this futuristic diaroma!
AGH exceeded our expectations. If you're in the area, we would recommend you check it out!
