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.

Awesome Things That Happen in Toronto

Well, I'm ready to write!

It's been nearly four and a half years since I wrote ANYTHING and I'm not sure I can to it now but I have to try... and take pictures.

Anything and everything to do with Toronto. I've been out to the St Lawrence Market, cruising along Chinatown, Harbourfront, and I've been to Little Italy. I go to the Royal Ontario Museum to check stuff out and go to lectures. Toronto Zoo is my favorite.

So here I go.
