June 12th ~ Where's summer?

hi everyone, summer is where? (i'm just complaining cuz i want the sun!! well... not just the sun.. but the heat too!!!!) ... i'm waiting to go to the beach... hang out... play some beach volleyball... all that... and.. this weather is not friendly...

anyways... i went for i think my first measure up... haha... it was odd/interesting... didnt take a long time... i think the highlight was not letting the lady put a measuring tape to me... but how i got to bramalea go station.. hehe...

i'm not really familiar with toronto public transport... especially the extensive go-bus system... but i'm surprised at the coverage it serves... i checked the website... from langstaff to bramalea... one bus... the bus starts at finch... heads up yonge.. then across hwy 7... well.. that bus does not exist... i think... cuz.. i didnt see it come by...

in any case... laura had told me i had to make a switch at york university... ok.. it made sense... so.. i still went to langstaff.. (closest station to me)... my mom just dropped me off... it was in the middle of no where.. well.. there was the go-train station.. but i was on the south side... and... it was under construction... i felt like i was waiting in the middle of no where... for the totoro bus... (for those that know what i mean)... anyways.. a bus finally pulled up... it said.. york university... alright... i got on... told driver i wanted "bramalea"... and he gave me a ticket... told me i had to switch at york... so.. that was a nice ride... quick... and.. york university... my.. its changed a lot...

from the last time i've seen it... nothing was recognizable now... they've done a nice job... especially the bus station/exchange area... made me wanna walk around... but i had to catch the next bus... i think i will go back another day.. and walk around all the buildings and campus...

so... when i checked the buses... i realized i had missed one... errr... so... i waited for the next... i guess it was a smooth transfer... ok... up to now.. i knew what to expect.. but next stop.. bramalea... its totally new... i had no idea where it was... what it looked it...
haha.. but laura was good with instructions... and bus driver helped... i had no problem getting off at the right stop... it was just weird... cuz.. i'm still in toronto.. yet.. its so unfamiliar to me...

finally i met up with laura.. then kristy arrived by go-train... and its all good from there...

conclusion: g0 bus is the way to go!!! good service... in less than $5... i consider it alright... there's lots to see in toronto.. lots more to explore... i think i will do that this summer... my sketchbook... nikon fm2... and pentax optio 430... hehe...

oh... and animated movie yesterday "over the hedge"... haha.. its so funny... a spin on living in suburbia... and how raccoons and squirrels raid our garbage cans?... hehe... thats all i'll say... i recommend it.. for a good laugh!!!

thx karin.. for all the comments... and your present!!! i loved it... you know me the best! hehe... hope u like yours :)
