Caribana Parade Toronto Canada 2007

Guess what? I didn't make it to Caribiana today. I went to the gym this morning, and then when I came home I did some stuff and then fell asleep. When I got up I meant to go but I looked on the net and all of the festivities were over. I missed the Caribana Parade! But we went out on a long walk anyway, and though I missed the parade with all the people in costumes we saw tons of people that were in town for Caribana. What a crowd!

It's good that I have flickr for photos. I took a lot of photos tonight but none of them were really "caribana" type photos.

Wakestock Photos

Yeah, I'm old and boring and didn't go to Wakestock. But I noticed Wordfreak has a pretty good Wakestock Photoset on flickr. Here's a few photos from it:

Toronto Afrofest 2007

Check out this great slide show by Suresh Doss on Afrofest with music by Babatunde Olatunji. The festival celebrates the food, music, dance and culture of the Continent of Africa.

It's a festival that I did not attend, due to the fact we had an open house both days at our apartment. I would have rather gone to Afrofest. Especially the food looks great. I guess I'm hungry right now.
