HEYO.
Yesterday we went for another really long walk, but it was way cooler. We went to Tommy Thompson Park, which is at the bottom of Leslie Street, where the street juts out (the Leslie Spit), and forms a little peninsula. It's only open weekends and holidays, and is a 'wildlife sanctuary'.
When I first read that it was a bird sanctuary, I was like... yeah right. It's Toronto, what birds would choose to live here, and why are they special, and I doubt we'll see any birds, blah, blah, blah. But we did! We saw a heron, and we found this crazy other-worldly Cormorant zone. It was so strange, the trees were white (from their crap, we decided), and there were little bones, and nests everywhere, and even some dead cormorants hanging from the trees. It was spooky.
Apparently they're gone after September 1st, which is good cause it would have been way spookier if there were live birds there.
We also found a little ship wreck, and had a fire on the beach (shhhhhhhh), and had a good, long walk, and some Thai food afterwards. We tried to paint for a bit, but the boys got antsy so I'll have to paint from the pictures.
Also, we watched Inside Llewyn Davis last night, and I've been listening to Dave Van Ronk & Bob Dylan all morning.
