Lions and Tigers
I just made a quick visit today. I only had a couple of hours, but a day without the Exhibition is like a day without sunshine. My friend Greg and I headed over to catch the cheese tasting. It was a whole new experience, with five out of the six cheeses being different. I was able to add to my cheese diary. Greg and I checked out the Green Zone and checked out the information that TEA had about green initiatives in the city of Toronto. I was happy to find a brochure on where to find locally grown produce in the city.
We checked out the prefab home, which I had somehow missed. The entire structure is made of reclaimed or sustainable material. Being environmentally friendly certainly does not mean that you need to forgo style. The house is just a prototype. It would be great to see some of these built.
Greg hadn’t seen the FLOWRIDER demonstration so we grabbed a couple of seats in the late afternoon sun and watched the performance. One of the riders had a small, obviously waterproof, video camera, no bigger than your average webcam. He was able to stick it to the sides of the wave maker and film himself while he performed. He even affixed the camera to the middle of his surfboard for his final run. Talk about multi-tasking.
It was time to meet our friend for dinner, so we headed out.
Kids’ World tomorrow
