Visiting Anna in Toronto

We had a fantastic long weekend in Toronto. Lots of great walks, great food, a great play, and great company!

Anna lives near the Scarborough Civic Center, also home to a flock of geese...

...much to Bill's excitement...

The goose whisperer

Or perhaps he's the goose director...

Near Ryerson University, where Anna is doing a Master's in Immigration Settlement issues...

At a little restaurant in Koreatown, gullets filled with sun-tubu and bibimbap.

This boulder seemed fairly static, and predictable. However, as is labeled, who knows what could happen...

We walked from Dufferin Park west to High Park, and the autumn leaves were glorious -- and well worth the two-hour meander through a beautiful residential area in west Toronto.

A maze in the middle of the park for meditation and walking.

The next day, we all went to Bronte Park for a hike, and to breathe in the fresh autumn air.

This is the Oakville Ford plant, where our car was built many years ago.

Road signs are more exciting in Canada.

We had a great lunch at August 25 Restaurant.
