Safely home now.
Wednesday, my last full day in Toronto, was actually a pretty nice day weather-wise, and I spent most of it on foot.
I probably walked (conservative estimate) 12-13 km, covering Queen Street East from the beaches to downtown, big chunks of Dundas Street West and Bloor Street West, and Broadview. I took lots of pictures, looked at books, and ate a lot (surprise). I could really spend days just walking the streets of Toronto. I love it.
Other Wednesday highlights:
- Preposterously large breakfast at the Tulip.
- No lunch required due to preposterously large breakfast at the Tulip.
- Dinner in Greek Town. I ate at Messini, which I’ve really liked in the past but didn’t much care for this time around. I think they were out of lettuce but didn’t want to admit it, which made for a very unusual gyro/salad combo.
On Thursday morning, I packed up the car and headed back toward home. After some stops in St. Catherine’s and Niagara Falls, I didn’t dawdle much more, only stopping for lunch and dinner, gas, and bathroom breaks. I did the full 1200 km in one day, landing here at 1:30 in the morning.
Thursday highlights:
- Listening the Rob Ford train wreck unfold on the way home.
- CBC Radio 3 making West Virginia tolerable…again.
- Smiley cookie with dinner.
More details, photos, follow-up, etc. to come.
