my first winter day in toronto!

Due to popular request, I've decided to attempt to regularly post on my blogspot. Wish me luck!!

Here's the situation: I am back in Toronto for the third time to teach YES (Youth Empowerment Seminar) in a high school (Western Technical Institute). It is such a privilege to be back here doing this! The class starts next Monday. Larissa and I met the teacher today. She seemed very supportive of the program and is looking forward to starting Monday.

Afterwards, I went back home and took a nap due to my lack of a good amount of sleep (I only got 2 hours yesterday and had to wake up at 5:30 today) than I decided to go on a little adventure!! To go find a rockclimbing gym, which really isn't too hard since the bitter cold makes climbers run indoors. Ha! That rhymes!! Anyways, there's about three downtown that I have access to through subways and buses.

Today I checked out Toronto Climbing Academy. It was practically empty because it was midday and most people are usually at their day jobs then. I didn't realize how happy climbing made me until I was so grateful that I had found the place.

Two more climbing gyms to check out!
