Left home about 6.30 in the morning, all travels went well. Tradition breakfast at AAMANS at the airport. Had a seat right over the wing and it was really sunny so not until we were about to land I took some more photos out the window. Love traveliing where the movies are free, or well I did pay for the flight. I managed; Bohemian Rapsody, Kingsmen - the golden circle and Nancy Drew(Used to love reading the book as a youngster, her name is Kitty in Swedish)
Arrived at the house, staying at the same place as I did last year, close to busses and streetcars and not too far to walk either. I went out for a few supplies and took a walk around the neighbourhood "Cabbagetown". Murals and houses that are really colourful, and I need to find myself a cheap table at a fleamarket and paint it like the one I found in the furniturstore's window.
No, they are not fighting, it just looks this way.
Wendesday morning it rained when I went out, but I put on my rainbponcho and walked down Parliment Street, I passed this part "Anniversary Park" in the crossing with Gerrard Street, it's these little things you find when you walk another way than you usually do.
All over Toronto you see these painted switchboards, and then there is at least room for two Supermen in Toronto, found these other the other side of the Anniversary Park.
A first day in Toronto should consist of a visit to Patrician Grill
Saw these beautiful nets for plants on my way to Nailing where I had my nails done, no tips this time so they won't break.
It did stop raining and the afternoon was hot and humid but I made a visit to Allan Gardens and the conservatory. Outside in the gardens along the paths there's these giant banners "Red Embers Installation"
"The banners were designed by 15 Indigenous women artists and dedicated
to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and float
from 13 tall charred-black gates throughout Allan Gardens Park." you can read more of this at https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/parks-gardens-beaches/gardens-and-horticulture/conservatories/allan-gardens-conservatory/
Black squirrel(it's a must have! photo)
As usual the flowers are beautiful, but it was too hot and humid inside to stay long. I especially loved the Hibiskus, it's as beautiful from the backside as it is from the back.
Had to stop by Dollarma on the way home so I walked Gerrard Street and found these beautiful Dahlias, you can't see it but the white one was really huge.
Just a sign making me thing of Due South
And I think these lamps(there were four of them) once have looked very fancy.
Keep your eyes out for a day on the sightseeing bus, it's coming up soon!
