Canada holidays! part 1/6

Jun 27, 2010 18:28

well! it has been a long time since my last post. in all that time i have been busy, specially living and enjoying life. yeeeees! i still have to make different posts with pictures from berlin in the last months and with new music suggestions, but before all that, here comes the busu & geso holidays in canada!

we have been there for two weeks, visiting toronto, montreal, ottawa and niagara, meeting our friends there and making a lot of new friends [thanks to the couchsurfing community]. it has been a truly great experience... we enjoyed to discover each city, to hang out with friends, to have lovely breakfasts, to travel like true backpackers, to discover all the aboriginal art of canada, but also lot of great contemporary artists from there, we enjoyed the sunny and the rainy days, ride bikes, sleep in so many different places, etc.

now, back in berlin we feel happy, we miss our friends from over there [specially nick and his girlfriend] and we will spend our summer here, working and waiting some friends that will come to visit us. meanwhile i have to select some photos [between more than 500, so it takes time] and share it here, step by step and in chronological order. so first: TORONTO!
