Walk to and along Toronto Harbour

KC and I went for a 2.5 hour walk this morning.

We headed south on Stratchan.

Looking east towards downtown.


Alas, this truck is full of piggies heading to the nearby abbatoir.


The Inglis sign ... hopefully it will stay after the condos are built.


The Ex started on Friday. Here's the Princes' Gate.


We crossed the Lakeshore to Coronation Park.


There was a homeless guy snoozing.


Cito Gaston and I exchanged "good mornings". Here he is walking away.


Looking back at Coronation Park, with downtown in the background.


We passed by Ontario Place.


The Chinese Lantern Festival is here 'til October 31.


Heading west.


We headed north on Dunn ... the Gardiner Expressway was busy!


The folks on Springhurst Avenue are enterprising. Parking for the Ex is $20 in the nearby lots. These residents let you park on their lawn, a couple blocks from the Ex, for $10!


No couples or single women allowed?!

Here are the Dufferin gates, the other entrance to the Ex.


Then we headed for home.

Now that's a good walk. We had a huge storm last night and all the humidity has gone. Nice and sunny like TO. Lots going on in your neighborhood. Wow men only.....what were they thinking?
