Crack bags, skunks and cops, what do they have in common? They’re all found where I am now! Location shoot! This time… from a parkette! Right now in Masaryk Park right beside Dunn Avenue Parkette.What a sleep! Terrible! Cars! Noise! And the guy in the bed next having night terrors! READ A DIFFERENT BOOK! (He’s reading about how the US accepted Nazis after World War 2).Up and out for a run at 7.30, along Queens Street and then through some park along the river. All told, 9km in 1 hour 8 minutes 43 seconds. Thought about running to the CN Tower but I had already gone a lot further than I wanted. Worse still, shops along Queens Street West where I’m staying don’t open till 9am!Spent the day organizing photos and videos, something I should probably do more of, rather than waiting until the end of my travels.Debating whether to go out today, into the city or just around the block. How is the block you’re living on?And met a working traveller from Britain now here in Canada working at a kids camp. Was teaching climbing to kids at camp. She was a dancer before getting into climbing and mountaineering. No, sorry, no interview, sadly. Donate to the show!
