I went to college in Washington DC many years ago, and have been back a number of times since, but lately it's been quite a while.

I was in Toronto once in April -- and it snowed. But I had a great time anyway! Can't wait to go back.

Welcome to our new group members. It is nice to see so many new places added to our list. It makes me want to get out and explore. Though know that is not realistic as Toronto's spring and summer traveler's have begun to trickle in.
