A Beautiful Day Downtown, Indoors and Out!

The books were like magnets. Beginning at 10 a.m., the whole bunch of us MicroSkills Language Centre participants swarmed the entrance of the Reference Library, all raring to go. It all went crazy at the foreign languages section, and everybody clustered around books in their first language: Albanian, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, etc.!



Happy campers!



Where's Donald? (HINT: find a white cap coming 'round the round pillar?)



Our first group photo--sorry, the order's messed, thanks to Google's Blogger!

But look who came from our class: Artur, Liji, Vivi, Vivian, Nellie and son, Zumurod, and George Jia. Did I miss anyone?




How fun, a firehouse with a firetruck!




Lovely corner at No. 100 Sidestreet where the Hollywood stars are supposed to sip coffee on their days off



Ah, a five-minute break in the middle of Yorkville (that's two syllables)!








I'd rather be up on the rock, where the air's cooler and the view panoramic.



It's great watching folk sneak over to the hotdog stand!



Ah, yes, the best food in the world! Yummy! Appropriately, this street meat is featured in today's Toronto Star!



Donald takes us to the hallowed halls of, um, brain sweat!



Thanks to Blogger's out-of-order (blame the tools!) sequencing, here's a flashback to the music score section of the Library.



Welcome, Tanya! It's not always possible for the Coordinator to join our field trips; so today was special!



Fun on the fifth floor



Leaving the French section for the music scores



A great view of Don Valley



It says 1852, in roman numerals, was when that old building was built.



Thanks, Mister Bishop Unpronounceable Name! Thanks for the fun, Fundator!






Checking out Chinatown on the way home ...



Meh, maybe next time!
