A lovely day exploring the waterfront
The day I visited the StacktMarket I discovered I was down close to the Toronto waterfront, so I enjoyed a walk along the lake before going back to the condo. Yesterday we went back down to the water to explore more of the Toronto lakeshore. Our friend Angela (remember the post about “Cooking with Angela”) was visiting so we took her on a tour of the area.
Toronto has done an admirable job of controlling development on the shore of Lake Ontario to allow almost complete public access to the actual lakeshore. There are lots of tall condos built down there with wonderful views (and large mortgages) out over the lake to Toronto Island, but there are also nice walkways and parks along the shore so the public can walk beside the lake and enjoy the views as well. We took the subway down to Union Station and then walked down to the water where we were able to walk along the waterfront all the way to the CN tower.
We will explore the rest of the waterfront at another time, but here are some pictures of the day.

| This was some sort of sundial . . . I couldn't tell time by it though |

| Seriously . . . you think? |
