July 13, 2014: Tales of two cities




I train back to Toronto.  Though Montreal is well known for the plethora of excellent cuisine, my search for interesting vegetarian options have been slow.  I return to Toronto for Summerlicious—“restaurant speed dating”.  Eight meals in 5 days—Filipino cuisine, innovative fusion, vegan fare, Middle Eastern, Eastern European.  I eat around the globe, revelling in my return to one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. 

Offsetting these calories requires some major activity.  I paddle a voyageur canoe to Toronto Island at sunrise.  Sandra and Anita, and I take in the skyline bathed in early morning light.  We delight in the ducks and swans skimming by.  Such serenity, so close to Gardiner’s traffic snarls.
