A view of the forest hillside from a vista point, looking toward Santuario Ecologico (Ecological Sanctuary). By the sound of the video, you can tell it was quite windy. Taken within the grounds of the Children's Eternal Rainforest, located in the Monteverde area.

Another long time restaurant (since at least the mid 1990's) in the Spadina/Dundas Chinatown. Recall seeing tour buses dropping off visiting tourists at lunchtime.
