About the location:
My inspiration for this cache was Guelph geocache The Lady on the Hill, although I wanted to kick it up a notch with a location I had my eye on for the past year or two. In the end the cache far surpassed anything I even dreamed of. I've always thought this beautiful Basilica that I pass almost weekly on the 403 deserved its own grand cache.
About The Song:
Tiny Little Bows is on the Kiss album. An interesting thing to note about the song is how much it differs from the original which can be seen here on Green Couch Sessions. Much like this cache, it started off simple and then became a little more extreme. On the Kiss album, the song is a fast paced dance song featuring a segment of Cupid by Sam Cooke
The original version of Tiny Little Bows is my #1 favourite Carly Rae Jepsen song.
