I've never understood people who follow up a day of getting stuff with a day of shopping for more stuff. According to some people interviewed by CTV News, lines had begun forming in front of some Toronto stores by 11 p.m. Christmas night! Even if December 25 is not a big day on your calendar, there've got to be better ways to spend a Saturday night than lining up in front of a retail outlet.
Here, we woke to a brilliant Boxing Day and someone (we all want to take credit) had the inspired idea to go to High Park.
If you've never been, Toronto's High Park is the city's greatest green space, what I like to think of as our not-so-central Central Park. From viewing the cherry blossoms in spring to skating on Grenadier Pond in winter, High Park is a hilly year-round destination for fresh air and beauty. And I love the fact that it's accessible by streetcar and subway.
Today we grabbed a back booth near the fireplace at Grenadier Cafe, then hiked down Deer Pen Road to visit the animals. Bison with their backs to the wind, Barbary and Mouflon sheep warming in the sun near a stone wall, emus trotting and making strange noises, a mama yak hurrying over to see who's eyeing her little one.
The park was full of joggers and dog- (and kid-) walkers; a bike vendor sold popcorn and candy floss. Back to the restaurant for something hot to drink, then home again on clear streets. Happy Boxing Day, everyone!
Asking questions are truly good thing if you are not understanding anything totally, but this piece of

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic
ReplyDeletehowever , I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested
in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog
post or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same subjects as yours
and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.

I drop a comment when I like a post on a site or I have something to add to
ReplyDeletethe conversation. Usually it is a result of the sincerness displayed in the post I browsed.
And on this article "Boxing Day in High Park". I was excited enough to post a comment ;) I do have 2 questions for you if you usually
do not mind. Could it be just me or does it appear like a few
of these comments come across like they are left by brain dead visitors?
:-P And, if you are writing at other online sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
Would you make a list every one of all your shared pages like
your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
