Second Cup

Well, lo and behold. There was a Second Cup right around the corner from Tim Horton's. Two for two all on the same street, eh? In fact, it was behind the place we parked. Second Cup is Canada's largest Coffee retailer. They are literally everywhere, even with their competition staring at them right across the street (see photo below). They were also less expensive than Starbucks, but only slightly so. (Check their official site here)
Bert's the coffee drinker among us so he ended up getting some caramel concoction. The dude working there even gave him a 2 for 1 coupon for our next visit (which unfortunately we didn't use).
This was TC's hot chocolate...

We shared our Timbits and enjoyed our drinks as the weather sort of improved outside. No more rain, but still quite grey.
The Annex borders the University of Toronto and it was also very near our next stop on our itinerary so we decided to repark and take a walk to burn off our calories...
Lots of stately brick buildings here...
A stone church near the university...
The next place we went to was totally rad!!!  I'm a sucker for interesting museums and this next one was no exception...
