rfmcdonald | [NON BLOG] Four Things About My Evening (Reply)

Biking around Kingston is wonderful, even after I found out that what I thought was mist coming off of the lake was actually smog. With its well-maintained brick and limestone buildings, its lakefront location, and navigable streets, Kingston is a good place to explore on bike (on foot too, if you've the time).

I went to the liquor store downtown, to pick up two bottles of Szekszárdi wine, a 2001 vintage "produced & bottled by Hungarovin Ltd." that's a dry red. I'm rather fond of Hungarian wines, particularly this one. I dropped one bottle off at my West Campus friends, the one who hosted that party last Friday night. The other bottle I kept for myself.

Returning, I stopped by the Gallery Café on 189 Sydenham Street for supper. It had received glowingly positive write-ups in the PIC Press and the Queen's Journal, and I decided to give it a try. It was a pleasant environment, brightly-lit and well-arranged, with a guitarist and flautist collaborating first on some classical pieces then on some Celtic and Irish tunes. I enjoyed it, though I only got my pecan tart after I asked the cashier. I'll give it a 7 out of 10 for the time being, improvements dependent on improving service.
