Toronto is a wonderful city for potters to visit.

Spend a day schmoozing the Chinese Pots at the Royal Ontario Museum ... a truly mind
boggling display.

The next day, walk across the street to the Gardiner Museum and spend another day
admiring their displays.

The next day, wander down to Beamsville to see the Clennels. They are never working
very hard so if you can drag them away from their leisure activities they might show you a
few extraordinary pots. (grin)

In between, eat the best Chinese, Thai, Indian, Italian, Vietnamese Food around.
Visit intact ethnic neigborhoods and markets.
Shop in designer chic stores.
Drink some real beer.
Listen to people say 'eh' in twelve different languages.

Try to find a donut shop .... big grin here ... a basic food group is spelled d-o-n-u-t.

Looking forward to getting back again !!

Chris Campbell - in North Carolina - when I was young and on the loose in Toronto it
was nicknamed "Toronto, the Good". Sidewalks were rolled up at dusk and everyone
was more British than the Brits. Thank Goodness for immigration!!
