Radio and Hot Chocolate!

Yesterday morning, the girls were singing with their school choir at 'Un air de fête', hosted by Radio-Canada (CBC). It was a fun morning with a visit with Santa, a bite to eat, a visit to the arts and crafts table and of course singing on the radio.

We had lunch at Quesada (Que-quoi-quoi? as Kyra first inquired!) It was delicious but had a "sweat" attack with the habanero sauce and the salsa roja!!





On our way out of the downtown core, we saw the signs for Toronto's Winter Market. I've heard the advertisements on the radio and wanted to check it out. Also on the way in to town, we saw the ferris wheel and huge Christmas tree in the middle of the Distillery District. I didn't realise how popular this event was! I couldn't believe the extra 'event' parking down by the lakeshore. "Nah, it can't be that busy!" "Yes it is!" After driving around the block and almost giving up, we ended up in the overflow event parking. 


I wish we were a little more dressed for the event. But since it was a last minute decision we made the best of it (including warming our toes in Soma, the chocolate store with a couple of hot chocolates!) I would definitely go back another time, dressed in extra layers. I am sure it is also pretty in the evening with all the lights.
