Toronto, Ontario
After Lunch
It
was just after lunch that a small kirtan party led by your humble servant made
our way to the waterfront. By water I'm referring to Lake Ontario and
like other major cities in North America, Toronto is trying to follow on a
spruced up water-edged world. Along Queen's Quay where we did roam and
chant, we also picked up on the fact that the city is working at a frenzy to
get ready for the PAN-AM games. Finishing touches are being done to road
and pathways.
You
see a combination of water, sand, concrete, green space with umbrellas and what
someone would describe as Muskoka chairs under those shades. It truly is
a hot spot, well, supposed to be a 'cool' spot, as in temperature and as in a
tourist draw.
Our
timing was a little off though. After lunch everyone's back in the
office. Night-time would be more desirable for foot-traffic but we were
there to explore and to survey the area. Prospects look good.
Anyway
all was said and done. People were perked up to see and hear us.
Flyers were distributed to inform all about July's Festival of Chariots/India
in the midst of the Pan Am Games. I got my exercise in, but not to a full
satisfactory level. I went to phase 2, down the ravine, at dusk.
Solitude is what I needed, after all - some down-time.
Recent rains I was unaware of, created a slide effect. Nothing like the
scene from 'Woodstock.' Just a lone monk moving down a trail adds to a
long list of trekking.
May the Source be with you!
