The forecasted rain never happened during the day today. Margaret helped with baby-sitting in Uxbridge while daughter Ann and I had a pleasant walk from Bathurst Street east to the Beaches. This was the first time Ann had had nine hours away from the kids since the third was born! Several beautiful large three masted sailing ships were docked in the harbour. During the lunch break, we watched the ferry boats going to and from the islands. On Queen Street, east of Broadview, we happened upon an art festival and wandered the park where about sixty artists were showing their stuff.

I used to think this part of East Toronto was a bit rough, but most storefronts were open and there were many coffee houses and restaurants serving the crowds. We continued to the Beaches, walked the boardwalk to Lee Avenue and then took the streetcar (a 50 min. ride) back to where we'd left the van. On the way back we saw a huge red ball stuck into the doorway of the old city hall. Later I found out that it is part of an art installation that started in Barcelona and moved on to Chicago and Toronto.

Just three days and a bit to go! Northeast through Scarborough, north through Markham and on to north of Ringwood to the farm in Stouffville.
