Paddle Down the Don

At the Don River, I went to the Queens Ave bridge. It is not quite raining yet and I had an umbrella in my backpack. I went down on the path beside the river and I passed people along the way, waving and yelling at the people in the canoes urging them on. 

It's raining by the time I got to the to the mouth at the Keating Channel and I joined the people who are docked. The Beer Tent was a safe place to be. I ordered Black Creek Brown. (Erin, be proud of me) ...and it was delicious with the rain and every one milling about. I got into a conversation with somebody around me. He was carrying a paddle with him from long ago. 

It was about 45 minutes later that the sun came out and I was off to ride the streetcar home. Look for the pictures at my Flickr page.
