We met Jon, Manami, Kii-chan, and The Chako at the ferry terminal just before noon, and spent the day at center island.
It really is the highlight of Toronto's parks and recreation.
I quite nearly caught a seagull by tossing my broad-rimmed hat at the thing like a frisbee. I was merely attempting to chase away the flock of screaming airborne rats that had come for the food being thrown to them by some dunce child from a nearby picnic.
Speaking of rats, the woodpile at the side of our apartment building is miraculously gone. I hope the displaced rats will be okay.
