Last night I brought my Mexican houseguests and Sergio, freshly deplaned from Miami, to Korean Grill House to celebrate the fact that Alberto flew from Cancun to do the Toronto Half Marathon and ended up completing the FULL MARATHON yesterday morning!
BRAVO!!! Frankly, I’m surprised he could even walk to the car. I’d be asking for a wheelchair by now.
Alberto told us that the second largest group of runners in the Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon (a total of about 14,000 people!), after Canadians, are from Mexico. He learned about the race from a flyer down in Cancun.
[Note to self: I should've had him turn to his left a bit (I had no room to move over), because you can easily tell by the shadow under this right eye that the light source is above and to his left.]
While Alberto did the full marathon, Marco finished the 5k, giving him hours of sightseeing time before Alberto crossed the finish line. I think he went shopping!
This processing makes Sergio, who also happens to be Mexican, look really scruffy even though he wasn’t. He and I were musing last night in wonderment that we’ve known each other for nearly 10 years. What?!? Where has the time gone???
Have you ever eaten at a Korean grill-your-own barbecue? It seems to be a lot of work, grilling your own meat, but I really like it! And after grilling, I can put it on people’s plates with a flourish as if I barbecued it at home, except the best part is I don’t have to clean a grotty grill afterwards.
