沐浴於隆河

Finally the essay for the wines basics class is done after working till 2am last night and finishing it off this morning before the class. At the end I chose the Rhône Valley region, since it has a lot of varieties (which means plenty of information). Of course, most of my stuff is a result of copying and editing from various websites.

Too bad I didn't take the class before my European trip earlier this year, if I did I will definitely spend more time on the wine regions :)

Had a brunch with a friend I met in Seattle yesterday morning, and we had it in the Gladstone Hotel that is located in the art and design district in downtown Toronto. I had an Eggs Benedict, which is OK :) You can't go wrong with eggs, ham and muffin anyway :P The Hollandaise sauce was pretty good though.

I chose to walk to the hotel, since it's just 45 minutes away from where I live, on foot. I'm glad I did. It's been a long time I last walked on Queen St West. It's an awesome community with all sorts of funky stores!

Met this guy on the way when I went back home... Good that he's at least doing something to earn a living. Another one I met whom I didn't get a picture of, was holding a card saying, "Will take verbal abuse for change"...
